SOLVED wine on worktop.

Post by michael f-w »

Hi all I am having a problem with wine. I do research and have more than one work space open. But if I use wine it puts its self on top of all workspaces, so to get round this I have to minims wine. Is the anyway to stop this, and have wine open on just one worktop? thanks Michael

I use wine all the time and don't understand that you're saying; "wine" itself doesn't have a window ('cept for the small windows of winecfg and winetricks), you get a window for the programs that are open. and they act like normal windows, they're not "on top" of anything.

Could you post a screenshot of your problem?
