Custom rule behaviour based on the display size

Open igorwojda opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Let's consider this common setup - The user has a Laptop (small screen) and an external monitor (large screen)

I would like to be able to define a list of displays by given criteria. This could be the specific system-derived name ("Macbook screen"), resolution, or its properties (display with width < 3546) and use different rules for a given display

Consider this scenario where each action behaves differently based on the current screen (screen the windows is at). We have 5 actions:

  • Top Left
  • Bottom Left
  • Center
  • Top Right
  • Bottom Right

And here is the desired sizing and positioning for each screen: image

As an implementation idea, we could add constraints to each custom rule (use one of the displayed defined above) image

Thanks for the feedback. Display relative (and current window size/pos relative) shortcut parameters are on my backlog and I just haven't made it to them yet.

Along with display relative parameters, I'd also love to see display specific/aware app layouts. At home I have a single 39" ultra wide, while at work I have dual 24" monitors. I'd love Rectangle Pro to detect my monitor configuration/size and then know which app placement to trigger/use.
