I'm using this alias for my custom balloon tips. Works fine. I guess it can easily be extended for other screen corners. Hope this helps. Edit: I might add this is the only way I know of to get the taskbar position/offset... if you know of another, better way let me know Last edited by greeny; 12/05/04 03:35 PM.

Thanks a mill!! Slimmed the code down a little, seems to work just as good w/o the variable lines. Thanks again, greeny! Code: alias toffset { window -dhn @toffset $window(-1).w $window(-1).h 0 0 .timer -m 1 1 close -@ @toffset return $calc($window(-1).w - $window(@toffset).x) $calc($window(-1).h - $window(@toffset).y) } Last edited by metalkool; 12/05/04 04:44 PM.
