Is the GUI label 1? If so, you need

is it also neccessary if it is the first gui that is created and there are controls added right after this?

later there will be a second gui to set settings, and to avoid problems from the point when 2 guis exist, i use 1: and 2: - but the +AlwaysOnTop is the very first gui-related command and so i thought it hasnt be specified for a special gui, cause it refers to the first gui that is created?!?

The 1: is only need if it is on the show. i.e.:

hmm i dont really understand how this could be an answer to my question oO

but i think the label is not neccessary at this point, cause if +AlwaysOnTop would not work, this would mean -Caption +ToolWindow would also not work, cause it is in the same command and so all 2 should be fail.

but the look of the window is correct like on the screenshots, it is only not on top of the others so i dont think that this "missing" label is the problem.

What i would do i use one of the scripts available to check if it still has its always on top status when it disapeers.

If its losing the always on top style you could just re add that every five mins or whenever, or there is probably a windows message to sepcify its style has changed, monitor that and reapply when that occurs.

you could also make it reAlwaysOnTop it each time (before) you show the gui

Note:
you dont have to -Caption +ToolWindow again since they seem to be working fine

ps
if i missed the point sorry

like i told, the gui is shown by a hotkey so would it be enough to place
gui, 1:+AlwaysOnTop
in front of the
gui, 1:show
?

what is the difference to
WinSet , AlwaysOnTop , On , Window Title or ahk_id %winhwnd%
?

and what are reasons why a window can loose its alwaysontop window style?
