In the Fluid.app preferences, choose "Appearance". There is a "Window Level" dropdown where you can set this. Cheers! You certainly can have your SSB sit on top of all other apps.

Thank you. This has other uses I'm looking forward to - SSB for google tasks, nice small window that I can hopefully toggle as always on top Good stuff. Thank you.

That's quite annoying. I've been using it mostly for Reader (which, for some reason, DOESN'T do the scrolly thing), so it hasn't caused me to switch. But yeah... I don't really use Gmail in it, besides checking to see if new stuff came in. Yeah, I’ve noticed that with GMail, too. That’s quite annoying.

I had used Fluid to make a SSB for GMail, but it makes a lot of sense to use http://m.google.com to manage feeds, calendars, email, etc. One problem I've recently run into with version 0.9.4.1 and using "Mobile Safari 1.1.3 - iPhone" as the user agent: everytime I scroll down to view a long email, or read a RSS feed, the application automatically scrolls back to the top of the page. Unfortunately this makes things quite unusable, hoping an update will fix the issue – wonder if I'm the only one? Great tip, Adam.

On the PC I use <a href="http://bubbleshq.com/" title="Bubbles" rel="nofollow">Bubbles</a> for similar SSB purposes. It works really well with Google Calendar and the iPhone version of my to-do list app. SB Very cool Adam. On the PC I use Bubbles for similar SSB purposes.
