So I tried to follow your instructions from that thread, but I just couldn't get the "always on top" program to work. After trying for an hour I gave up.
I then decided to take a couple screen shots and just recreated my character from that. Not too bad honestly. Thanks for the help though!
Sorry that you weren't able to get it to work - yeah, that part required me to muddle around for a bit. Only suggestions (if you ever try it again) are to make sure your display is set to Windowed Fullscreen mode rather than regular Fullscreen (because you won't be able to switch out properly to another program in regular Fullscreen), to press the Window key to switch out of the DA:I program when you want to open up Paint, and to press Ctrl+Space when you've got the Paint program selected so that it stays on top (after the always-on-top program is activated). Seems like you were able to recreate your character in any case - best of luck!
