Re: How does one get the screen coordinates of the workspace?

[Gergely Polonkai <gergely polonkai eu>]

Hello,

this makes me wonder why you need these coordinates?

If you want to set the window size to the maximum, then just maximize it.

If you want to move it around automatically, like put it on the center of
the screen, don't do that. There are situations, e.g. for users with
multiple monitors of diyzfferent sizes, when you do more harm than good
with this approach.

Best,
Gergely
