How do I pin a window on my desktop?

Click the DeskPins icon in the System Tray, located in the bottom-right corner of your desktop. The cursor becomes a pin (red by default or based on the color you selected in the options). Move the pin cursor (like the regular cursor) to a window you want to pin to top. Left-click to pin the window.
