Hello drakinite,
I got an idea for a way to make the Undock Panels remember the position. I am not sure if it would be possible.
Is it possible to add
X and Y position fields into the configure options of the Undock Panel Add-on? Much similar to how codemonkey skin has colour options for the skin.
If this is possible, users would be able to key in X and Y Values(+/-) of the position.
Thank you.
Hey drakinite,
Any updates on this if this is feasible?
Thank you.
Hey, I think I got a notification for this thread from a post that was moved to its own topic, but I see that I never saw or replied to this question from last year. Really sorry about that!
Unfortunately, if you hard-code the X and Y position of the dialog into the settings, there's a reasonable likelihood of the window appearing off-screen if you change your monitor settings, such as plugging in a new monitor, rearranging them, or changing your scaling settings. Additionally, I don't think there's currently a way for a MM addon to specify the location of a dialog being opened, without modifying some of MM's source code.
I heard about some Windows PowerToys that give you some really extensive control over window snapping (I believe it's this one:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windo ... fancyzones). I haven't tried it, but maybe it lets you set a hotkey to snap specific programs/windows to their own dedicated places. If it's able to do that, I think it would give you better control over what you're looking for than with an X/Y position slider.
