I'm looking for a simple no UI, always-on-top image viewer
greentooth
I've been looking for hours !
I'd like something a la First Impression

it sadly doesn't work on dual screens (i can't move it to my second screen) and isn't always on top.
Overlay/foreground function like the ForgroundReference viewer would be great though i don't think it exists elsewhere. The program is cool already but it gets uncontrolable with more than 1 window. (you can only edit the last picture opened)

For the always on top part : Always On Top Maker
I downloaded maxview 2.4 in my itinerancy, but it looks like the borderless option isn't available anymore (or just not in the demo?)
It works in the 2.1 and it's free. I wish there was an option to fit the window to the image size automatically, or i'm missing smthing.
Ghost-it and winroll do the job (they make a window transparent with an opacity parameter)
I'll take the time to see what fits the best to me, though i think ghost-it is less confusing (and its icon is great
Although ghost-it do the always on top thingy, so, you had the option on your 3 tools Pior.
Really on top !
Thanks again !
Thanks !
This is cool when you want to use your software behind the picture, like sculpting "under" a reference in zbrush. Else overlay is a bit useless since u move your window. But it has the advantage to store windows positions.
Well anyway, i think i have all that i need

it's free, you can tell it to stay on top, you can give it a maximum size, etc. etc.
All the noobs should be taught how to do this. My work around in the past was to have two monitors lol. I am now in a work situation where that is not possible.
The thread is old... are there any new solutions you guys are using?
Thanks!!!
