Tweaking window placement
Authored by: jw34 on Nov 10, '01 11:41:07AM

When I open the com.apple.finder.plist file to change the preview as mentioned here, I noticed all the other info about window placement etc. My question is this: If I wanted to change the placement of windows (preference pane,staus bar, etc) to have them centered on my screen what numbers I would have to type in to replace the ones already there? I have a 21" monitor so is it a matter of trial and error putting in numbers until things are centered, or could I use another tag to denote automatically centering?

Thanks

Tweaking window placement
Authored by: james_sorenson on Nov 12, '01 02:23:23AM

These numbers are constantly changing. Basically, it records the position
of the last-closed window (sort of...it gets weird with multiple windows).
Open a finder window. Move it to where you want it. Close it.
That will put in the settings. Now, if I could just be able to move windows
about without worrying about changing those settings!
