// By Matt Petrowski modified by Stephen Dolenski // Current window values are retrieved from a variable value  // pw = Parent Window (e.g pwt = Parent Window Top) Let ( [ pwl =  Get ( WindowLeft ); pww =  Get ( WindowWidth ) ; mww = width; mwl = pwl + ( (pww - mww) / 2 ) ]; //------- RESULT Case ( pww < width ; (Get ( WindowDesktopWidth )  / 2) - (width / 2) ; mwl ) //------- ) Click to copy

For times when you want to center a window that is created when using GTRR. Or when you don't want the visual window dance caused by an arrange script step.

The idea is here in the create new window portion of the GTRR dialog box in the Top and Left boxes place the corresponding CF and insert your width value in the Left box and your height in the top box. The window will be created centered. This eliminates a cleanup & align script later.

This will screen center the new window if the parent is smaller in either direction.
