Pre-set Web Apps screen coordinates?

[fatso]

Hello all you awesome people!
I'm using the Web Apps app, and I was wondering if there is any way to have them open at specific x,y coordinates.
The reason I ask is because I've written a bash script (used via YAD) to open 2 Web Apps simultaneously, and I'd like them to open side by side, rather than one on top of the other.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe this will work for you:
Get position of all open windows and programs:
wmctrl -lG > /home/mike/Documents/winpos.txt

Then reposition windows with commands like this:
wmctrl -r name_of_application -e 0,988,139,856,381

Thanks for the help!
But I'm very confused. Web Apps are using firefox, going by their own definition, so I'm not sure how to target that. Tried "firefox" as name_of_application, but that had no effect, and I can't figure out what the name of one specific Web App is. Methinks I'm going to have to look up wmctrl and RTFM.

I just repositioned your topic window with this command:

Code: Select all

wmctrl -r '(1) Pre-set Web Apps screen coordinates? - Linux Mint Forums — Mozilla Firefox' -e 1,971,50,959,1014

Thanks, Mike. I must have something amiss with my system or whatever. The command you posted ran without errors, but had no effect even if I tried it on a manually resized (smaller) window.
I do appreciate you trying to help though.

Notice the last item. If you don't have that exact application name listed it will not work for you.

Type the command above (wmctrl -lG). Move a window. Then build the wmctrl -r . . . command from your application names for the window you moved.
