I have actually considered this, and yes, I want my window to center on the screen returned by [NSWindow screen]. >> I could write my own code to position the window, but I don't know how >> to reproduce the recommended position of the centered window, which is >> slightly above the center. > > > Traditionally, this has been at a position leaving one third of the space > above and two thirds below, though I'm not sure if that's still currently the > exact placing. > You are right, except that, according to my experiment, it is one fourth above and three fourths below. I have written that code and it works identical to [NSWindow center], as far as I can see. But maybe there are still caveats I'm unaware of. Anyway, it's an annoyance that the [NSWindow center] uses [NSScreen mainScreen] instead of [NSWindow screen]. I'd consider it a bug of AppKit, indeed.
