Floating View Web Changes Position

Discussion & Questions
1

Hi friends, I've been using the below settings for the floating webview and the view opens up fine at a specific location on the screen (based on where I left it last time), but when I connect my macbook to a monitor, the view opens up in a different place and I have to drag it and set it back where I want.

Also, even if I don't open the webview on the monitor, later disconnect the monitor and open the view on the macbook, it still opens up in a different place. Can something be done in this regards where it opens up in the same places on the screen every time regardless of the view opening on a monitor or macbook display

Sorry, I'll be back end of the week.

If you need a fixed position, change the "top left of webview & screen with mouse" to "bottom left corner of main monitor". Then the position should not change as long as your main monitor doesn't change.

There will soon be many more positioning options available, I'm currently finalizing the implementation for this.

No worries!

I updated the Position to Relative to bottom left corner of main monitor but I usually connect to 2 monitors at work and want this window to open on the secondary monitor (I trigger it to open on that monitor), but it again loses it's position.

e.g.

  • Open WebView on laptop display (no monitor connected), opens at the right place (under the Clock/Battery Icon in menu bar)
  • Open WebView on 32'' monitor (laptop screen mirroring this monitor), opens a very small WebView in the middle of the screen. I have to drag it back to the location I want it (under the Clock/Battery Icon in menu bar)
  • Open WebView on secondary monitor, rotated 90 degree (in addition to 32'' monitor), opens in the middle of the screen. Have to drag it back to the right place (under the Clock/Battery Icon in menu bar)

Basically having a way to specify that the window opens at 60% from top left of the screen (and doesn't depend on the monitor size) and always open there regardless of laptop/BTT restarts
