Window Open Location

Postby ne014x » 08 Sep 2008 16:19

I have found the options to have the windows open to a custom size but now I want them open in a specific location on the desktop. We allready have a bat file that open four windows. What is the code I could add in to make them open to a pitcular spot on the screen and can I assume when trying out the cordiates that 0,0 is the middle of the screen?

--video-x=<integer> Video X coordinate
You can enforce the position of the top left corner of the video
window (X coordinate).
--video-y=<integer> Video Y coordinate
You can enforce the position of the top left corner of the video
window (Y coordinate).

They should be pixel accurate positions, full screen capture and some image editor should be enough to figure out certain spot.
