Justified question about the differences between putting in the foreground and forced into the foreground on MS Windows 12, 11, 10, ... etc.!



PS: Was a request from a gamer who always wants to keep an eye on the clock while playing games on Windows 12, 11, 10, ... etc.!

Content:

1.) ... Always in the foreground and foreground plus forced!
2.) ... Advantage, always in the foreground and foreground plus forced!



3.) ... Summary of the different Z levels of the DesktopDigitalClock on the desktop!



1.) Always in the foreground and foreground plus forced!


Always in the foreground + Forced! 



If the digital clock with the standard mode is in the foreground, then it remains in the foreground, in foreground + forced the clock in the foreground is a little more intense in the query and even moves in Front of the screen saver, 3D games and other apps and programs      

Only on the desktop + forced!



If the clock is in the standard background mode, it will only show itself on the wallpaper in the background, with  Onlyon desktop + forced, the digital clock is also a little more intense and always moves into the desktop background!

Here is a simple example!  (Is available from version 3.11)



The digital clock even moves in front of the selection field of the combo box under MS Windows 10, but also on all other MS desktop and server OS!

2.) Advantage, always in the foreground and foreground plus forced!



Window on Top or "Always on Top" is a feature that allows a window or application to always be displayed on top of other windows on the screen. This can be useful in certain situations, for example if you want a particular window to always remain visible while working with other applications at the same time. However, there is also a forced version of this function.



"Always on top" means that a window will always appear on top of other windows unless it is manually minimized or closed. This can be helpful if, for example, you have a note window or dashboard widget that you want to keep in view at all times.

The "forced" variant of "Always on Top" refers to the ability to force a window to the foreground even if it is not normally the top priority. This may be necessary in certain situations to ensure that a particular window or application is always displayed, regardless of other processes or activities on your computer.

To show or force a window to be in the foreground, there are various tools and software applications that provide these features. However, it is important to use such features responsibly as they can affect the usability of your computer and in some cases can also cause problems if not managed properly.

3.) Summary of the different Z levels of the DesktopDigitalClock on the desktop!

In summary, the different Z levels of the DesktopDigitalClock offer a wide range of display options, allowing users to customize the clock exactly to their needs.
 
The Always On Top option ensures that the clock remains visible regardless of what other applications are currently running. This is particularly useful when the watch is a high priority and needs to be easily accessible.
 
With Foreground Plus Forced, the clock is emphasized even more, even pushing itself above other active applications to ensure it isn't missed.
 
However, if you want the clock to be less present, "Desktop Only" offers the option of only displaying it on the desktop background. This is ideal if you want the watch to be visible but not in the foreground.
 
The Desktop Only plus Forced option combines the background display with the increased emphasis to ensure that the clock is not pushed into the background even when you are using other applications intensively.
 
Overall, these different levels of DesktopDigitalClock provide a flexible solution for users to customize the clock's display to their individual preferences, ensuring it is always visible exactly when it is needed.
