Well the other frontends use the Choices values window_x, window_y, window_width, window_height for their initial window placement. These values overridden on the command line combined with the url to open should do what you need? For example: ./nsgtk --window_x 100 --window_y 200 --window_width 200 --window_height 200 http://news.bbc.co.uk opens a 200x200 pixel window at 100,200 on the screen at news.bbc.co.uk in the gtk version. If the RISC OS frontend does not support this I have no better idea, sorry. > > the page in mind is the control panel for my networked monsterprinter. > it's useful to have it handy during a print job without taking up too > much screen space. > > -- > Jim Nagelwww.archivemag.co.uk > > -- Regards Vincent http://www.kyllikki.org/

Isn't that what Netsurf does with... Make the NS window the size you want it, move it to the position you want it, then do... Menu > Display > Window >Set as default position.

Of course there's a RO commandline command; how do you think netsurf gets started? (Look in !Netsurf.!Run to find out). Whether it understands arguments is a slightly different question... -- Jeremy C B Nicoll - my opinions are my own.

Untried, but a quick glance at the source code suggests that the RISC OS front-end should. -- Steve Fryatt - Leeds, England Wakefield Acorn & RISC OS Show Saturday 16 April 2011 http://www.stevefryatt.org.uk/ http://www.wakefieldshow.org.uk/
