Not sure how feasible this is with an electron based app, I tried when I migrated to the latest Electron version last year and could make it work over fullscreen games.

Duplicate of #203

Related to this issue: I use another small app (Turbotop) to make any app I need to be displayed over Remote Desktop (and sometimes games) while working. However, any kind of interaction with (even a mouseover to the lofi window) overrides Turbotop's "make always on top" tick and disables it, and the lofi window disappear to the background (and naturally, it is not possible to alt+tab to the app in main desktop from Remote Desktop..)

I have disabled the AoT setting in lofi and also tried disabling hardware acceleration without success. There's clearly something wrong with the AoT/window settings in lofi that needs to be checked, it shouldn't trigger or override Turbotop's setting when disabled in lofi settings. I'm not sure lofi is Electron but if it is; Freetube is made with Electron too and it doesn't have this issue.

To summarize; I have to manually switch to my main desktop each time after changing a song or doing any kind of interaction with lofi window, which defeats the purpose of the app for me.. Other than this, it is lovely app!
