--center: Place window on center of screen.

[Paul]

Dear all, I have problem with option --center - when I using yad, it is sometimes work and place my window to center of screen and sometimes not (mainly it is not working). It is normal?

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Paul.

Hi.
for me with my wm
I have a bug if I use center and fixed together.
I solve the problem with xrandr and --geometry
a example:

largeurecran=$(xrandr -q | grep -w Screen | sed 's/.*current //;s/,.*//' | awk '{print $1}')
hauteurecran=$(xrandr -q | grep -w Screen | sed 's/.*current //;s/,.*//' | awk '{print $3}')
pointXbuilder=$(echo $(((($largeurecran-($largeurecran/10)*7)/2))))
pointYbuilder=$(echo $(((($hauteurecran-($hauteurecran/10)*7)/2))))
largeurbuilder=$(echo $((($largeurecran/10)*7)))
hauteurbuilder=$(echo $((($hauteurecran/10)*7)))
geometriebuilder="$largeurbuilder"x"$hauteurbuilder"+"$pointXbuilder"+"$pointYbuilder"
yad --title="Enregister dans un fichier texte." --geometry="$geometriebuilder"

this is highly depends on your window manager.
yad just asking wm for appropriate placing.

Thank you so much Serge. But your solution still does not work with --fixed isnt it?

[Paul]

Thank you Viktor. So is there any solution how to use --center and --fixed together. I am using Ubuntu. Serge showed me some his very elegant solution, but is does not work with --fixed option.

yes it works
give it a size

#size window = 500x500

largeurecran=$(xrandr -q | grep -w Screen | sed 's/.*current //;s/,.*//' | awk '{print $1}')
hauteurecran=$(xrandr -q | grep -w Screen | sed 's/.*current //;s/,.*//' | awk '{print $3}')

pointX=$(echo $((($largeurecran-500)/2)))
pointY=$(echo $((($hauteurecran-500)/2)))
yad --width=500 --height=500 --fixed --geometry="+$pointX+$pointY"
