Therefore, when you tap Alt+N or Alt+L to launch a new NetPos window, it will appear in the size and position of the first opened window, not the one you&#8217;re currently staring at.<br \/>\nWhen closing NetPositive, make sure the last window you close is sized and positioned exactly as you like it. New Net+ windows will then appear with the same size and position.<br \/>\nIf you don&#8217;t want NetPositive to save the last window position every time it quits, use the tip <a href=\"\/chunga.php?ID=235\">Access hidden NetPostitive settings<\/a> to turn off the &#8222;SaveWindowPos&#8220; setting. In this case, open a Terminal window and type:<br \/>\n<code><br \/>\nrmattr SaveWindowPos ~\/config\/settings\/NetPositive\/settings<br \/>\naddattr -t bool SaveWindowPos false ~\/config\/settings\/NetPositive\/settings<br \/>\n<\/code><br \/>\nThat way, if you get your &#8222;perfect&#8220; window position, you can turn off the preference to save it in the future, and it will be preserved forever.<br \/>\nFor the brave, you can manipulate the window rectangle directly through the &#8222;DefaultBrowserWindowRect&#8220; preference, though you&#8217;ll have to manipulate a RECT attribute to do so. Good luck.<br \/>\nThere&#8217;s the usual caveat to not make business decisions based on these preferences always being there in this form; they are subject to change in the future.<br \/>\nIn a future version (probably R5), the secret preferences will no longer be secret: there will be some sort of UI to set all of them; though the more arcane ones will likely require an extra step to get to them, so as not to confuse non-power-users.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NetPositive stores a default window size and position, recorded at the moment you close the last instance of all currently open Net+ windows.
