Chrome Pack app, always in the top window

Question

I am writing a text editor, I need the application window to always be on top when switching to a browser or e-book reader software. as I know, for Windows users, chrome does not provide any solution. Is there any parameter to send when creating the window so that the window is always on top?

or can I provide any button in the application to enable or disable this feature?

The code I use to create the window in bg.js is:

var launch = function () {
chrome.app.window.create('index.html', {
  type: 'shell',
  width: 440,
  height: 680,
  minWidth: 440,
  maxHeight: 680,
  id: 'paat-start'
});
};
chrome.app.runtime.onLaunched.addListener(launch);
chrome.commands.onCommand.addListener(launch);

Thanks for any suggestion.
