wow... thanks for all these examples!
Unfortunately i still use 4.4 at work, but i'll try it at home where i
use 4.4.09. (I'm a bit afraid of updating pp as it runs sooo smoth ;)
Actually the solution from Alan works quite good, but i just found out
that it doesn't reposition the window if it is maximized.
So I hope your solution does it ;)
I'll try it and let you know.
Thanks!
