SUMMARY
Some variables in the initialization files require window position values. The meaning of these values are undocumented and, therefore, described in this article.



MORE INFORMATION
You may see some of these variables in your ss.ini file:   Visual_Merge_Rect Position_Toolbar Hist_Rect Visual_Diff_Rect For example:   Visual_Merge_Rect (PC) = 139, 172, 876, 654, 1024, 768. Hist_Rect (PC) = 233, 206, 766, 542, 1024, 768 The values of the variables, represented in pixels, are translated as follows:   .ini File Setting = LEFT, TOP, WIDTH, HEIGHT, SCREEN RESOLUTION WIDTH, SCREEN RESOLUTION HEIGHT Reference coordinates are measured from the top-left corner of the computer screen.
