Modify script to change width and position?

Open sean-slipetz opened this issue 13 years ago • 5 comments

Hi,

I love this quake style terminal, it is almost exactly what I'm looking for to replace guake (for linux) when I use windows. The only thing for me is that I keep my task bar on the left side and it overlaps the terminal and I also like to have my terminal only fill a portion of the width of the screen and be full height however I can't seem to get that to happen here. I've tried passing the mintty args to place the console in the position/size I want but they seem to be ignored (they work if I lauch directly from cmd shell in windows). I also took a look at the autohotkey script but I've never worked with it before and the modifications I attempted did not have any effect. I was wondering if it'd be possible to implement a width and start postion setting in the ini file, or if you could tell me what portions of the ahk script to modify to achieve this I'll give it a go on my own.

Thanks, -Sean

I'm going to have to +1 that request. I'm losing part of my zsh prompt underneath my taskbar (left aligned).

I'll see what I can do!

I've updated the code & exe with a fix - let me know how it works!

It still doesn't take the mintty arguments from the ini file it seems, but it does automatically set the size to avoid the taskbar now when it is on the side of the screen so that's awesome. Thanks for the fix lonepie!

Personally I'd love to adjust the width. I am used to Yakuake and Tilda, which has the capability. I normally run those with 100% screen width. Plus that could potentially help me with this bug I am having.
