Subject: bug#18657: 24.4.50; positioning frames on multi-monitor displays
Date: Tue, 7 Oct 2014 16:56:40 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <850964d2-1176-4e30-94d3-a802d1a7a336@default> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <539e4d69-89e1-4be0-8c33-3f916400fbdc@default>
FYI - The OP tried this code that I suggested, for left and top,
instead of 0 and 0, in the `maximize-frame' code of frame-cmds.el:
(nth 1 (assq 'workarea (frame-monitor-attributes frame))) ; For left
(nth 2 (assq 'workarea (frame-monitor-attributes frame))) ; For top
But he does not have Emacs 24.4, so no `frame-monitor-attributes'
(and that ultimately depends on C code, so I can't just send him
the latest frame.el code to test).
He did try substituting (- 1520) instead of 0 for the `left' value,
and that positioned the frame pretty much where it should be.
Dunno yet whether -1520 would do the same thing. There is nothing
in the doc that indicates the formats (or types) of the components
of what is returned for `workarea' & `geometry' (there should be).
But Andy Moreton's feedback shows that the value can be something
like -1520.
If there is someone with Emacs 24.4 who could test my `maximize-frame'
code with the change I suggested (using the code above, instead
of 0, for left and top), that would be good.
