Tom, I found your changes in the cvs repository :) But I still get a crasy behaviour of the rectangle. Maybe tomorrow I can find out where the problem is ;) But for now I want to show you my little changes in autoplace: - horizontal and vertical alignment of the windows - new visual feedback of the placing-grid - update of gridwidth and gridheight info after changing the videowindowsize
Still to come: - tidy up the ui - maybe a separate autoplace for every display ? - no videoplacing across display borders - ... I have attached a first quick and dirty screenshot.
