Hi, You can use the `screenwidth` and `screenheight` methods to get information about the screens geometry. Then use the `geometry()` method to place your main window. see Tk::Widget for documentation. Cheers, Christoph	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Use the following code `use strict; use warnings; use Tk; # Main Window my $mw = MainWindow->new; $mw->geometry('+793+475'); MainLoop;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

On my screen, (1920x1080) your code will put a window almost on the center :) Update: I guess your screen resolution is 1024x768 (or 1024x800). Regards, Stefan	[reply]
