after start, window is centered into middle of all virtual monitrs, even to not-existing areas about uncolored

[n457]

Hello @judovana,

It seems like it's a pretty common issue with Linux distributions. And more generally, it's the OS who decides, by default, the position of an application window at start.

I've done some research :

http://blog.vogella.com/2013/06/02/ubuntu-how-to-move-an-application-which-is-displayed-offscreen/

Can you do some research as well to confirm or refute that please ?

Thanks for your feedback ;)

I can not agree that is common issue.  This is only app in last 6 years
which have this behaviour. I guess it is  common problem of certain
framework(s) and/or certain approaches. I was not digging into your code,
but usually  you can control position of newly created window in all
frameworks I had ever encountered.

Just dont close not-a-bug:)

Thanx anyway!
 Best regards from CZ

Of course there's a way to position the window with code :) , but in (Un)colored code, I just open a window, there's nothing specific about screens or position.

Moreover, it would be "dangerous" to force the window position at startup. Imagine that the user has a specific external application or setting to handle that ? I don't want to risk a conflict with that.

It may be a bug with the OS or the Electron framework, but it's not a bug with the code I wrote, and I don't want to force the window position for the reasons above ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Yup. I was expecting excuse of "bug in framework, but it's not a bug with
the code I wrote, an" it is just expectable. And thats why I wrote "please
dont close not-a-bug" (or wont-fix ;) )
The reason you specified is hoewer justified.
What about compromise? You can add command line switch, which will center to
current (where mouse is[not exactly comfortable]) or default (not exactly
portable)
It will make you  safe from user's settings, and will make users happy.
