Launch the GUI in the center of the screen

Open MillerTheBest opened this issue 11 years ago • 3 comments

Hi there,

Would you please provide a solution to launch the GUI in the center of the screen? It currently launches the GUI on the top left corner... It will be awesome to see such a improvement.

Thank you.

So looking at the SWT documentation it does appear to have a setLocation on the Shell class which would modify what you're asking for there.

Definitely issues to consider around multi-monitor, but looks like SWT has the backing we need to figure that.

Marking this as an enhancement so we can take it into consideration. Thanks for the idea!

This is in a similar vein to #780 which is about changing the window size itself programmatically.

Hi, thanks for your issue report.

I believe there was a discussion like this once, I think we figured we would just not set the window location in which case the window manager of the Operating System handles it (this is how I remember it).

Adding the functionality might be nice, though. Put it on the 4.1 milestone where we gather additional features that are not in Shoes3.

Cheers, Tobi
