Re: Get x position of panel item

[dbFin <vadim dbfin com>]

Since GS 3.6, I believe, some actors are now in containers. This, or something similar may be the reason for 
such behavior. Depending on your needs, either check whether there is a container and use its coordinate 
instead, or use a method returning global coordinates.

How can I get x position of a panel item (appMenu)

Earlier actor.x gave me the correct position but now it gives me only 0 
?

Affects my extension Wintitle in 3.12 .

Hi Megh,

The position of an actor is tied to its parent. So that 'x' is the x
relative to the parent actor.
To get the absolute x position on the stage you should use
actor.get_transformed_position
()

Yeah, but still the x of panel would be 0 and therefore I will get the
