Lock Window Positions In OS X?

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

I'm particularly OCD about the position of my windows and looking for a way to lock the position of them on screen. I use Dropzone (on a hidden dock) and when I use it, it changes the position of my apps (Mail for example). It's a small nuisance to most people probably but it drives me mad :p

Anyone know of a way to lock window positions?

TIA

Sorry for bumping a veryyy old topic, but I just found a software solution for this.

The app is called Stay.

What is Stay?

If you?re fastidious about keeping your windows tidy, Stay is for you. Stay ensures that your windows are always where you want them to be, even as you connect and disconnect displays.

How Does Stay Work?

Move your windows to where you want them, then have Stay store them. Once stored, windows can be returned to their stored state at any time by having Stay restore them.

Stay can store a set of windows for every combination of displays that you use with your computer. For example, if you have a laptop that is sometimes connected to an external monitor, you can store two sets of windows in Stay; one with the external monitor connected and one without. This done, you?ll be able to ensure that your windows are always where you want them to be by having Stay restore windows whenever you connect or disconnect the external monitor. Stay can even be configured to automatically restore windows as displays are connected and disconnected.

Again sorry for bump, but always good to resolve topic Q's imo :p

Could you elaborate more on this "hidden Dock?"

[Skulltrail]

Do you know of any software that prevents windows from moving outside the screen real estate? For example, moving my browser to the edge, it continues to move even past the left edge of the screen. Is it possible to make it fixed so that it can't do that? I move my windows a lot, depending on what I have open, and it bugs me when the window is near the egde of the screen but has some space between it and the left edge of the screen.

Any suggestions would be great.

@Skulltrail, nope sorry, don't think I've ever encountered an app like that. If I do find one someday, I'll let you know
