is it possible to customize the function buttons for window size? i posted a picture below that shows what im talking about. i want to set the left two windows so they are 50% wide and 50% height but perfectly centered and then the other windows 25% on each side. in the other photo you can see what im looking for, but those are just done manually, i want precision..

thanks keith, i know im doing something wrong but im not able to select those options for some reason.

wow im dumb. disregard that last post. thanks again!

there is something odd going on where there is like a pixel off even though im using simple totals when trying to get to 100%(25%x4 or 50%x2). im not sure why its doing this but you get see at the bottoms by the taskbar there is a pixel or two worth of space left. this happens when stacking the windows from the bottom to the top or the top to the bottom as i tried to illustrate below.

here is the last image.

sure, but i only made one and then went in and changed the height every time i wanted something diff.

that seems like a lot of work for every single window across 3 monitors. when you use the built in move window to right/left side and expand to 100% height/50% width seems to fill the full screen. not sure why totaling 100% with individual windows doesnt add up to 100% of the usable area of the monitor. the width doesnt seem to be an issue, only height. if i have two windows set to 50% height and whatever width, there is no issue.

the latter. because i dont want to make functions for actual placement on the monitor, im moving them all the time. i also dont want a bunch of functions on the title bar for diff sizes as im changing those as well. i just made one function where i go in and change the size then place it where i need it. if i use the stock ones where it places and sizes i dont get any gaps, though, i havnt tried it with more than two windows stacked. probably because there isnt a stock function for that.

alos, i have 1920x1080 monitors if that makes a difference. it shouldnt since its calculating based on %.

i do have snapping enabled. would this change the actual size of the window though?

even with snapping disabled you can see there is still a pixel or so missing.

this would be nice to play with.

thanks keith. also, are you not able to reproduce what im seeing with the gaps in windows even though the total % adds up to 100?

ill upload the video as an attachment. im not sure where we are in the conversation really but ill show off the issue here.

thanks for looking into this. is this fixable so i can keep my small icons? do i just have to live with it or use large taskbar icons?

would it also work if i used even # ratios like 60% 20% 20%?

on the script you wrote for me, the only way to access it is via hotkeys? also i dont think it sizes the windows correctly. well i only tried 25%x25%, but i had a 50% height window above it and the two 25% height windows i made wouldnt fit in the space below. they were more like 30% each.

ok thanks, ill give it a go.

awesome! thanks thomas! is this going to be added to the downloadable lists that i saw in the scripts area?

edit:
this one seems to be getting the height wrong as well. can he also add to the script where if you leave a field(height or width) blank it will keep its current size?

thanks again. everything looks to be working pretty solid. one thing is the popup window for entering the values seems to be opening on a diff monitor than where im working at but on my default monitor. it would be feature complete if it could popup on the actual window that im trying to set the size of. right in the middle of it if its possible. if not its not biggie.

awesome customer support you and your team have btw. being a trader with tons of windows open i cant tell you how many people i refer to displayfusion. it truly is amazing.

is it possible to have thomas add a feature to this script where that popup menu shows the current size of the window on the monitor?

is it possible to show that depending on how you are using it?

i guess the percent would be less work. however you want to do it.

btw, how does one update the script that is enabled, once it is updated in the official repo within DF?

thanks for the update! ill give it a go.

i know you guys are swamped so dont rush on this one. the 'Specify Window Width and Height Percentage' is borked. i think its adjusting the window sizes by non win10 'sizes'.

im on the latest beta.

thanks guys!

i think there is an issue with the new script and its sizing. its one or 2 pixels off from making my own custom sizing button that is fixed to 25% width and 50% height like these two windows are. the top left corner window is set to 25%W x 50%H and the bottom window(in the first picture) and the right window(in the second picture) is using the script youve updated for me. not sure which one is setting the right size but one of them is off lol

i think its still off by a pixel or 2? the second image shows the height and that looks the same..

also here is a video i made of some odd action going on at the taskbar with snapping:

http://bit.ly/1VlGFIE

so basically i can get them to fit properly if i set the top windows first to snap to the top of the monitor screen and then set the bottom ones that touch the taskbar.

how should i fix the script to adjust for more pixels?

i changed the width to 14 and i think it looks right now.

if i set a window to 100% W x 100% H i get a px ratio of 1934x1057. does that sound correct to you for win10?

well im on a new trading platform and the sizing seems to be off again and im not sure what i need to set things to because of the compensation. i changed the width compensation for win10 to 12 and can get things to line up properly if i set 3 windows spanning the width of the screen to 24:24:58, but if i used 25:25:50 the windows become too large for the screen. setting 2 windows to 50:50 leaves a large gap as well. does this sound correct and there is nothing i can do about it? im not sure the height is effected in this application.

now if i have to use the new settings it will mess up the spacing on all my other apps. is there a way to only use these settings for this application or something like that?

edit: im noticing a larger than normal gap when trying 2 windows spanning the width of the monitor at a 60:40 ratio and im not sure that should be the case.

edit2: maybe a simple solution would be to allow the script to set the pixel WxH instead of %. this would keep everything the same but if you enter anything over 100 it would use the pixel size and not %. maybe make a note in the popup window that if you enter a value above '100%' it will use that as pixel size and not %.

windows explorer windows look fine when doing 25x25x50 wide across the screen. im guessing the window borders on this news trading software are diff and not sure what the window graphics are programmed in on the app. im pretty sure the app is all C++ if that gives any clues. also with this new app im able to hide the window menu and title bar.

here is a video but im not sure if its much help:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11830812/Screens/2016-03-24_15-05-41.mp4

i have found that when i remove the title bar from the window the sizing changes. if i leave the normal settings of the script i can set the windows to 25x25x50 or 30x30x40, 20x20x20x40, and 20x20x60 width across the monitor and the spacing is perfect as it should be. if im to remove the title bar in the windows they do change size by a couple pixels and if i add the title bar back the window size goes back to normal.

if thats possible i think it would be a good addition all around for that script for precise pixels.

actually i think there is a bug in the script for when you leave a field blank it increases that field by 1% instead of keeping the current value, here is a video:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11830812/Screens/2016-03-29_13-04-28.mp4

trying it out now. looks like i need to update the width x height again for win10. i looked through the code and im not exactly sure where i need to make the edits this time as the code has changed a bit.

the settings for width and height are not the same as before the update. not sure if this is win10 specific and i think we made some custom edits in the above convo to fix it but 50% is not 50% anymore size wise. its smaller now.

in the images below im getting the WxH using the 'size and move window to side of monitor' which does 50%x100% and in the second image im doing 50%x100% and its still off by a couple wide and 1 in height i think.

now its off some more. both windows are at 50%x100%

i think its on point now, but its still incrementing by 1% every time if you leave a field blank.

here is a new video of that in action:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11830812/Screens/2016-04-01_16-46-03.mp4

looks like its working correctly!

madLyfe, where exactly did you locate this "set window size" script? I'd like to implement it within my setup.

it is located in the scripts to download area in settings.

though it is now borked again with some of the same issues above.

1. the popup is no longer respecting the window in which it was requested for. i think it is supposed to default to the center of the respective window. on my multi monitor setup it seems like its popping up on the default monitor.

2. if i use the 'size and move window to the left side of monitor' function for standardization that give a width of 960 and a height of 1050. if i manually type in 50% and 100% it adds size to the width and height making it 974x1057. if i type in 960 and 1050 for precise pixel dimensions it does the same thing.

3. if you have a maximized window the popup box just says maximized and doesn't give you any dimensions.

here is a video: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11830812/Screens/2016-10-13_13-45-55.mp4

beta 2 this hasnt been working for awhile(not beta related), i just havnt posted about it. was borked back in the 7 series somewhere.

i think the sizing is working properly now. by % and by pixel input. the other issues are still there though.

one other problem i am noticing is if i try and set the height to any % that ends in a 5 it will drop it down to a 4. so like a height of 35% or 45% will drop to 34% and 44% respectively. when entering in a pixel count for the height that ends in 5 it functions normally. so like a height of '555' is sized accordingly.

everything looks good. are you referring to my last post about not being able to set a height that ends in a 5 when putting in a percent value by rounding down? that is still happening and my monitors are just the default 100%.

or is "For the % being wrong after setting it" referring to a different error?

here ya go Keith.

thanks! is this just for me to test and then it will be pushed to the DF provided scripted function in the download section?

also i just tested this and now the width and height is rounded up x 1% no matter what number you enter. so its worse off now.

i think everything is working correctly in this one from what i can tell. can you push this to the one in the download scripts section for updating? thanks again!
