Windows open off screen.

[specter333]

Ok, this is driving me nuts and I need help with it. I somehow have EventGhost's windows opening up on different monitors and depending on what I'm doing at the time some of them are off the screen.

I use four monitors and three different display modes, depending on what I'm working on. I use Ultramon to control them so if the main window opens off screen I can click on the taskbar icon and move it where ever I want. But some of the options windows don't have taskbar icons. The only way I can get them back is to flip through display modes until they show up and I can't do anything with EG until I find them. After finding them if they have another popup options window it will open off screen to the other side. Flip back through the modes and find that one.

I would think that once I had them all together in the same display mode and closed them at a specific place they would open there next time. Nope, they seem to have developed a memory for those off screen spots.

Is there a way to reset all of EG's windows to open at a default location?

Which version do you use. There was a fix in one of the last beta versions.

Using 3.6.1262.

I uninstalled EG by using "Revo Uninstaller" to make sure all the registry files were deleted, reinstalled and it worked for a while. Now it's back to windows opening wherever again.

It must be due to I switch which monitor is primary all the time. EG windows must remember their position relative to 0,0. If I make monitor three primary and the EG window remembers last opening at 2000,200 then there is not a monitor at that position since the other two monitors are going to be at -1600 and -800.

Anyway, I just made a button that switches the primary monitor easily so I can find the window and do what I need then switch back. Not too big a hassle.

Please make a PythonScript with this code:

Code: Select all

import wx

for i in range(wx.Display.GetCount()):
    print wx.Display(i).GetClientArea() 

Then post the results for the different modes you use here, with a comment how the displays are arranged in the moment you run the script. There must be something wrong in the way the wx-lib is reporting your displays.
