With the Starbuntu program place-window you can position a window corresponding to special parameters.
The individual parameters mean:
- The window_id is determined with the command "wmctrl -l | grep "<partial string of the window title>" | cut -d' ' -f1". If the window_id remains empty, the current window will be positioned.
- waiting time in sec (also decimal fractions allowed); default value: 1; negativ value: wait until the next window gets opened.
- type: 0, 1 or 2. "0": Position refers to the whole screen; "1": left half, "2":right half of the screen; default value: 0
- width, height: if not specified, the window keeps its own size.
- left upper X, left upper Y: if not specified, the window gets centered when the type is 0. This feature is important, as the window manager OpenBox doesn't offer to center a window. With the type 1 or 2 the window gets positioned in the way that it touches the vertical midline of the screen from the left respectively from the right.
