OnTopReplica is a Windows application that allows you to clone a window then crop a subregion of it and keep it always on top (useful if you're trying to keep a YouTube Video always showing).

Is there any alternative for Linux installations (specifically Ubuntu or Linux Mint)? I tried looking for some sort of Compiz plugin that could emulate this, but I'm not sure where to start...

  • Would it be enough to size the window to the portion you want, remove the decorations (title bar etc) and make the resulting window always-on-top? Most window managers can do this.

    That requires so much more work on the end-user with less features (for example, OnTopReplica allows you to resize the region you crop to zoom in or out on it easily).

  • Yeah I figured, thought it was worth mentioning

I use ontopreplica all the time on Windows, I have bookmarked this a long time ago, not sure if the functionality is the same or if it follows your mouse. Maybe try a on browser solution, if its especially for video there is plenty of options.
