Right now the only way to lock a window is by pinning it with the "Lock Windows When Pinned", which would be great, if it didnt make the pinned windows transparent.
So either make a different transparancy setting for pinned windows, or make the pinned windows use the same setting as the non-pinned windows have. Or even a setting that lets you choose to be transparent, or follow the setting of the non-pinned wondows.

Please take this into consideration, as it would be a great addition to the game, and would solve a few bugs/missclicks related to windows movement.

One bug I keep having, which I've confirmed with several others, is how sometimes you move a window without having clicked on it, when you alt+tab to a different client and then back afterwards. The window that is moved seems to be located where the cursor is when you alt+tab, and moved to wherever your cursor is when you alt+tab back. And it happens even if you don't click your mouse when alt+tabbing.
This would not be a problem if I could pin the windows without them getting transparent.

Couldn't agree more. Separating window transparency from the pin/unpin function would be awesome. Especially considering how ridiculously easy it is for pinned windows to be washed out by bright patches of background and other various light sources, making them harder to monitor and utilize.
