I found a github issue from 2014 that mentioned that the windows were opening in the background, which is true and so also poking around it looks like some cider middleware is interfering with the output

Hi @U01Q9MK38TZ I use emacs on mac. Just tried to reproduce your issue but haven’t managed so far. Exact steps I used:

1. lein new quil hello-quil
2. open src/hello_quil/core.clj in emacs
3. cider-jack-in-clj
4. wait for repl to start
5. cider-load-buffer

Does this bring the canvas image to the front or background? Basically my problem was that I didn’t have my laptop docked with my monitors, so I couldn’t see the image and no notification or dock icon appeared for the opened window

Front in my case, do you have :features [:keep-on-top] in your defsketch?

I finally had time to come back around to this. This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.

Great! Happy to help 🙂 Have fun!
