[E-devel] window placement setting ?

2003-11-05 Thread Alan Schmitt
(* I am resending this as it seems that it never made it to the list *)

Hi,

After a foray into foreign lands (metacity, as I wanted to try gnome2),
I have installed e16 again and have been playing with its configuration.
I had forgotten how great it is.

Somehow I thought I remembered there was a way to specify how to place
windows (in a smart way (ie in the less cluttered part of the screen))
but I cannot find this option anymore (but maybe I am confused and it
was an e17 option). I have looked at the window placement
configuration dialog, of course.

I am using today's cvs.

Thanks for any pointer about this.

Alan Schmitt

Re: [E-devel] specifying that some new windows never get focus

  Hi,
  
  I'd like to knew if there is some way with e16 to specify that some
  window (in my case the gxmessage that signals me when some urgent mail
  arrives) never gets the focus when they are created (in this case, there
  is a timeout of 8 seconds on the window, but I need to alt-tab away if
  I want to keep doing whatever I am doing).
 
 not in the wm - no :( that never got supported in code - but if the app asks not
 to be focused e will refuse to focus it... :)

Thanks a lot, I'll investigate that next.

 Hi,
 
 I think you want the Remember dialog, Remember?  :)

Thanks, but I'm afraid that would not work. The typical usage I have in
mind is: I open an Eterm (which I configured to be half a screen wide),
which gets on the left. Then I open another one, and I'd like it to be
on the right hand side of the screen, where there is nothing yet.

I remember that e17 could do that, but I'm not sure about e16.

I know you've already said no about using Remember..., but why can't
you start one Eterm with something like Eterm --name left, position it
where you want it, and Remember Then start the other Eterm with
Eterm --name right and do the same ??

Or, create a script or alias with Eterm --geometry WxH+X+Y, replacing
W,H,X,Y with appropriate numbers ??
