REQUEST for a standalone application

For a "per-application" size and position

Sunday, March 19, 2006 by neophil78 | Discussion: OS Customization

It should be very nice if Stardock could do a standalone app that the goal should be to define (like an option off WindowFX do, but for all apps) the size and position on screen for different softwares.

Ex:
- IE should be in 1024x600 from X=100 Y=100
- Word should be in 800x680 from X=150 Y=200
- SDCentral in 1280x800 from X=0 Y=0
- and so on with the needs of users ...

In my case i'm just using WindowFX for that option, but it gives only the opportunity to give just ONE setting which (for now) is the same for all apps ...
Maybe it's something which can be implemented in WindowFX, but loading all WinFX just for that brings probably much more CPU and RAM usage than an application which will do only that point.

What you, users, think about that reaquest ?

hmmm, this is something that could be done with a little scripting. You could create custom shortcuts that use a script for the apps you want to launch in a particular place. Within the script you could use WSH to launch the app, and Win32 FindWindowEX to find the window and then I don't know of the API off hand but I know there are API's to resize and move windows onscreen.
