When using "Startup > Align > Middle-Center" (perhaps others that center as well) with a PORTRAIT monitor configuration, the "window" is not centered correctly on the X-axis as it appears the Windows Task Bar is being computed in the X-axis, which puts it off the right on the monitor, what appears to be the exact height of the Windows Task Bar.

The Windows Task Bar in the PORTRAIT configuration is at the TOP. The monitor size is X:1440 x Y:2560. Further, although it should not make any difference, the PORTRAIT monitor is considered the "secondary", or monitor #2 on the system.

Always occurs.

Thanks!!!

Sincerely,
Lars

Dear Zardoz2293,

thank you for your post.

Please send us your Actual Window Manager configuration (Actual Window Manager -> Tools -> Configuration -> Send to Tech Support) with a reference to this thread. Also please provide me with a screenshot of your portrait-oriented monitor at the exact moment when a window, which is set to be middle-center aligned at startup, was just opened.

Best regards.

UPDATE:

Alexander,

Thanks for the quick reply. After detailed investigation I discovered the cause was occurring from another "Window Setting" event and not the one I was expecting. Specifically, the wonderful Windows Class = #32770. I have had this type of problem occur many times. I don't know if you are familiar with SysInternals "Process Explorer" -- I'd like to make the following recommendation / suggestion:

SUGGESTION / RECOMMENDATION:[B]

(A) To have the "Window Settings" highlight the specific window setting configuration that has fired/occurred within (user defined) seconds. This would allow the end-user to immediately identify which event(s) have been processed recently. AND/OR

(B) at a minimum a log listing in the Windows Settings panel showing a list of the window settings which have occurred.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks!

Sincerely,
Lars
