open all windows centered

[Member rmcellig]

I’m using Antix 17 with ICEWM/Rox. How can I set it up to open all windows centered on my monitor. This is the code I use when I am in Openbox in my rc file..

    <application type="normal">
      <position>
        <x>center</x>
        <y>center</y>
      </position>
    </application>

Would this work in my icewm pref file or do I have to do something else?

I don’t think icewm has that capability. I could be wrong.

fluxbox does IIRC.

I really like icewm. I guess I can use Fluxbox which I think remembers where the window is positioned or is there something I have to put in the preferences so that it automatically centers every window?

You might find something in the preferences file here.

icewm-preferences

eg

#  Center large windows
# CenterLarge=0 # 0/1

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

I usually use the “remember” settings (right click on the left side of a window title bar I think) to keep the windows where I want them.
