I would expect it to be able to move without problem, in my case I don't want to change the size, only move the window from its location, while keeping its size, executing /window -r first is not really an option for me. #mircscripting @ irc.swiftirc.net == the best mIRC help channel

You can use the stretched window in "normal" state to fit your screen size. It will be similar to what it looks like in "maximized" state, and you will be able to move such a window. To run and view the demo script, enter the command "/winmove": Code alias winmove { .window -d @WINMOVE 0 0 $window(@desktop).w $window(@desktop).h .echo -s @WINMOVE state:04 $window(@WINMOVE).state .timerWM1 -m 1 2000 .window @WINMOVE 50 50 -1 -1 .timerWM2 -m 1 3000 .window @WINMOVE -50 100 -1 -1 .timerWM3 -m 1 4000 .window @WINMOVE 50 150 -1 -1 .timerWM4 -m 1 5000 .window @WINMOVE -50 200 -1 -1 .timerWM5 -m 1 6000 .window @WINMOVE 0 250 -1 -1 .timerWM6 -m 1 7000 .window @WINMOVE 0 0 $window(@desktop).w $window(@desktop).h .timerWM7 -m 1 10000 .window -c @WINMOVE } I assume that the window that is open in "maximized" state can't and shouldn't move, because it is glued (fixed) by the system itself to the borders of the screen. I could be wrong. 🌐 http://forum.epicnet.ru 📜 irc.epicnet.ru 6667 #Code \| mIRC scripts, help, discuss, examples

I already tried to workaround the problem by storing the position and size while it's maximized, unmaximizing the window with window -r and then applying the stored size & position with /window again, the problem is that with the difference in size for the borders and titlebar is creating a gap where the window is not taking the whole screen, and the size of borders etc will vary between version of windows, you can't control this with mirc scripting alone. #mircscripting @ irc.swiftirc.net == the best mIRC help channel

But I managed to hide them as much as possible by using the second command to resize and position the window. In my case, in the system "Windows 8.1", this is very similar to the "maximized" state. Try this way: Code alias winmove { .window -d @WINMOVE 0 0 $window(@desktop).w $window(@desktop).h .window @WINMOVE -8 -5 $calc($window(@desktop).w +16) $calc($window(@desktop).h -27) .timerWM -m 1 10000 .window -c @WINMOVE } Or using a no borders window: Code //window -d +d @WINMOVE 0 0 $window(@desktop).w $window(@desktop).h Most likely, apart from these methods, there is nothing else that could affect and change this position of the window borders. Unless only Khaled comes up with some new switch for windows for us. 🌐 http://forum.epicnet.ru 📜 irc.epicnet.ru 6667 #Code \| mIRC scripts, help, discuss, examples
