and want it always shows on top even in fullscreen games. so my form should always views while i am playing the game, is it clear?

The standard-approach (from with style StayOnTop) would work for a 'lot' of applications, but not for all. Some people don't want forms jumping into their screen - and some games open their own dekstop with some very strange screen-resolutions. Getting those last 5% of games to behave 'correctly' would be quite a challenge.

A more expensive alternative might be using a dedicated display; somewhat similar to the LED-display on your radio, informing the user how much time they have remaining. An example on how to do that would be here[^].

Another alternative, from the internet-cafe around the corner; catch the Ctrl-Alt-Delete combination and show your own desktop with the time remaining. That even works with some older DOS-games, although it doesn't look great when switching resolutions, it works.

Happy programming Smile | :)
