Hi Fred et al,
I use the following script to switch the monitor I wish to use for the
revmenubar and revTools and then position pallets like my own rTools and
tmAlign3. It is working quite nicely for me with my external monitor positioned
above my MBP and “Displays have separate spaces” unchecked.
on mouseUp
put the screenrects into tsr
if the number of lines of tsr = 2 then
if the left of stack revmenubar = item 1 of tsr then
set the left of stack revmenubar to item 1 of line 2 of
tsr
set the top of stack revmenubar to item 2 of line 2 of
tsr + 25
else
set the left of stack revmenubar to item 1 of tsr
set the top of stack revmenubar to item 2 of tsr + 25
end if
end if
positionPalletes
pass mouseUp
end mouseUp
on positionPalletes
set the top of stack revtools to the bottom of stack revMenuBar + 20
set the left of stack revTools to the left of stack revmenubar
set the top of stack rtools to the bottom of stack revMenuBar + 20
set the left of stack rTools to the right of stack revtools
set the left of stack tmAlign3 to the right of stack revMenubar
set the top of stack tmAlign3 to the top of stack revMenubar
end positionPalletes
HTH,
Roger
