No, just a philosophical difference regarding the meaning and, more importantly, intent of "centering" a window. And it predates AppKit. The goal isn't really to physically center a window on the screen. It's to position it in a defined location that is a focus of user attention. Consider the docs: "You typically use this method to place a window—most likely an alert dialog—where the user can’t miss it. This method is invoked automatically when a panel is placed on the screen by the runModalForWindow: method of the NSApplication class." Why? Because: "Such a placement carries a certain visual immediacy and importance."_______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
