I have several windows of different sizes that I want to place at a specific location from the bottom right of my screen. Because the windows change size I would have to change the position y for each of them. Is there a way to move position from the bottom instead of the top of windows?

To clarify, you're wanting the bottom of the screen to be Y=0 instead of the top of the screen?

Yes, that's what I'm asking for... I guess you would also have to take the bottom of the window?

This might be possible with a scripted function. What's the position you're wanting the window to be at relative to the bottom right corner? I will see if I can write up a sample script for this.

How about 10 pixels from the right and 100 pixels from the bottom?

Ok, thanks! I'll see if I can get a scripted function written up tomorrow or Monday.

Ok, I've posted a script to the repository for this. Here's how to set it up:

On the DisplayFusion Settings > Functions tab, click the "Download Scripted" button
Double-click the script named "Move Window 10px from Right Edge, 100px from Bottom Edge"
Give it a key combination and click OK
Optionally, select it, click "Toggle TitleBar Button" (to add it to the caption bar of every application)
Click Apply and test it out

If it works well, you can make copies of it and just change the distanceRight and distanceBottom variables to whatever you like.

Hope that helps!

Keith,

Thanks so much for the help so far. I tried downloading the script, but it looks to me like it's empty?

Woops! Not sure what happened there, but it should be all fixed up now

Does exactly what I need it to and looks very easy to edit. Thank you so much!
