Alternatively, if a small engine
enhancment would give us "the [effective] [working] screenLoc and save

Of course. It never hurts to ask. Then if LC doesn't do it, it's on them
and
subtraction
Or addition!

All the proverbs are true.
Still the core question is there. For those who may want to center a
dialog in the working area of the screen, they can calculate that
themselves in a home built function (or code snippet) by fetching the
"effective working screenRect" and subtracting top from bottom
Hi
here's the third one I missed
"Make something idiot-proof, and they will build a better idiot."
It's a losing battle

Yes, indeed, and the equivalent sort of thing to the Windows taskbar in
the XFCE environment
on Linux can be resized to cover the whole screen!
I know as my computers in my school have "Peekaboo" taskbars that take
up about 40% of the screen
(i.e. they pop in and out of the bottom of the
" Windows taskbar can be resize to take up half the
primary screen by the user (we have NOT had any one do that - YET)"
Which reminds me of 3 variants of Murphy's law :-
Nothing can be made foolproof because fools are so ingenious.
Nothing is foolproof for a capable fool.

And the screenrect can change on mobile too if rotation is allowed.

Ah. For some reason my brain was stuck in mobile mode. You can change
resolutions on Mac too actually.

Tiebreaker: file that request! Can't hurt. :)

Okay, we're making progress:
2 people (Paul and Ralph) think having "the [effective] [working]
screenLoc" might be a useful addition for the language for the likely
effort to add it
2 people (Bob and Jacqueline) think that it is simple enough (which it
is) to write your own function for this it
And I was in a round about way saying I didn't think it was necessary to do
this through the engine, since there was no clear performance gain, and the
code to work around it is one or two lines. I should have been clearer.

Yes, that is why I said (read below) that if others did not think there
should be an effective and/or working key word for the screenLoc function, I
would roll my own based on the screenRect function. I was asking whether

Seems like you could subtract item 1 from item 3 and item 2 from item 4 of the
effective screenRect to get what you need.
