OpenBox Keep on top window

I've tried looking online but I can't seem to find a way to keep on top a window with OpenBox, does anybody know?

From https://unix.stackexchange.com/question … linux-mint

What you can do using the window title is use the following command:

   wmctrl -r :SELECT: -b add,above

and then click in the window that you want to have at the top. You can also replace :SELECT: by a substring of a window title (this better be unique as the first match found is used).

Easiest:

Alt+Space, gives you a menu for active window.
Choose Choos layer => Always on top

Also: right mouse click on title bar gives you the same menu.
