Subject: aMsn window positioning
Hi Vivia,
I have a minor edit that fixed the chat window positioning problem on my
multi screen desktop. I'm not sure if the edit is for everyone but it solved my
prob.
The chat windows always opened up behind my start bar (which is left aligned)
and behind my toolbar (top aligned, +always-on-top). That makes the title bar
hidden behind, and unable to be grabbed with my mouse cursor.
To fix this issue (in 0.98b) I commented out the 0,0 positioning in
chatwindow.tcl CreateContainerWindow()
if { [OnWin] } {
#wm geometry $w +0+0 <-- this guy
}
There is also another problem with window positioning. If my chat window is on
my secondary screen and I click the smiley face button then the smilies window
tries to position itself on the primary screen. I generally just drag my chat
window over to the primary and then try again but it'd be nice to not have to.
Is it possible for someone to look at window positioning for multi screens and
also take into consideration the always-on-top toolbars/Start bar for windows?
Hey, a mosquito just did suicide in my Starbucks coffee!.. waste of a good
mosquito... I don't know if the mac positioning routines take into account
those extra desktop bars but if it does then it'd be silimar coding.
Aside from the multi screen and positioning things;
Text editing in the chat field could use an edit. The feel isn't consistant in
how it determines where the cursor should go when. An example is; it detects
the end of a line by a line ending rather than taking into consideration the
line wrap.
The you have wrapped lines and also use ctrl+enter for line ends then you can
see 5 lines in the text box but the editor only sees two line ends and treats
it as 2 lines when editing. To test it write a long wrapping line then do a
ctrl+enter and type another long wrapping line. When you press End/Home on any
line it'll ignore the line wrapping. When you move between the lines using the
cursor keys you'll see that it calculates the cursor x,y in the text editor
differently than what would be expected.
All the best :)

P.S. Would it be difficult to port aMSN over to s60?
