Simulating 'drawer' behaviour on Windows

[MisterX]

have you tried opening one stack #1 (layer x) before stack 2 (layer X+1)

 so as to layer them?

when you go to a stack it becomes #1, to make it layer 2, open a stack after
it (even offscreen)... works like charm using the "defaultstack"...

cheers
Xavier
