When I use $window(-1).h it returns 768 if I use $window(-2).h it returns 748 You say that that shows the height of mirc's window. How could mirc be 748 if the taskbar is 28 itself and my screen height is 768? 768 - 748 = 20 Taskbar = 28 748 + 28 = 776 Taking a snapshot of the screen and using a good ole adobe program tells me that the true height of mirc window maximized is 740 Does that mean mirc is hiding 8 pixels height somewhere behind something?

Code: alias taskbarstarts { window -Bdhk0 +dL @taskbarcalc $window(-1).w $window(-1).h 1 1 window -o @taskbarcalc var %taskbarstarts = $calc($window(@taskbarcalc).y +1) window -c @taskbarcalc return %taskbarstarts } Thanks Sephiroth_
