Option for DF window location
« on: June 04, 2021, 05:53:42 pm »

I play DF in windowed mode and use a 3rd party utility to view announcements. Every time I start up DF, I have to drag DF's window into an appropriate place. Even if the Steam update adds it's own improved announcement log, I'd still want the game window to be centered.

I suggest adding an option for the window's location upon starting the game. This could be through command line, init setting, and/or remembering the window location from last time.

Prior to it being embedded in DF, somehow, could you use something like this or this, as a third-party method of control?

Huh?  Just put the cursor wherever you want and hit “b”, then “y”.  How hard can that be?

Really hoping somebody puts this in their signature.

I don't know what that's supposed to do, but it does nothing.
