#### Click crosshair onto any X11 window to pin Always-on-Top with pushpin badge

A Linux X11 alternative to DeskPins. Independent open-source project, not
affiliated with or endorsed by DeskPins.

Crosshair pointer grabbing, Always-on-Top (\_NET\_WM\_STATE\_ABOVE), and
floating pushpin badge tracking operate on X11 and XWayland windows.
Wayland-native windows cannot be intercepted by X11 pointer grabs, and
Wayland-native titlebars may stack independently of external X11 badge
windows.

FEATURES
• Crosshair Pin Mode & Active Pins: enter X11 crosshair grab mode to click
any desktop window and pin it Always-on-Top, or pin directly from the
live X11 window table.
• Live Floating Pushpin Titlebar Badges: 24x24 shaped Always-on-Top pushpin
badges follow pinned windows as they move or resize; click any badge to
unpin immediately.
• Auto-Pin Wildcard & Regex Rules: persistent background matching on window
title or WM\_CLASS (*Calculator*, vlc, *Terminal*) automatically pins new
matching windows.
• Badge Appearance & Global Hotkey: customize pushpin colors (Red, Gold,
Cyan, Emerald), top-right (dx, dy) offsets, max concurrent pins, and a
global XGrabKey shortcut (default Ctrl+Alt+P).
