Keeping an application window on top of others

I was wanting to know if its possible to have an active application window stay on top of all the others that are open.

For example:

I've got a password safe application, this stores usernames and passwords for various websites etc. I would like this to remain on top of the others so that I can either right click on the log in details or use the keyboard shortcuts (for copying the username & password). Is it possible to do this?

iMac (27-inch, Late 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), iPad (3rd Gen) 32GB iPhone 5 32GB

Glad to help.

Since you have IOS devices there are three apps you might want to at least look at. I got them all for free awhile ago, so I don't know if there is a fee for them now:

Tudor for Lion, which is where I learned the Desktop setup.

Tips and Tricks for OSX Lion

Tips and Tricks for OS X Mountain Lion

Thanks for the recommendations.

I've just purchased "Tips and Tricks for OS X Mountain Lion" it was only 69p. I'll have a look through it.

Thanks again for the help 🙂
