Seems to be a bug in the Chrome extension chrome.windows.get api.

chrome.windows.get(nwWindow.cWindow.id, {populate: true}, 
   win => {
     console.log(win.alwaysOnTop); // always false !
});

I tested with NWJS v0.62.0 on MacOS.

Luckily setting the property via chrome.windows.update works fine.

So my conclusion is that your app logic has to record the alwaysOnTop state itself. I guess there is nothing much NWJS can do except an expensive workaround by managing a list of window states itself.

Preferably one should file a bug report with Google.
