💅 al_set_new...w_position(3) 💅

okay so this iconic little page is from the Library Functions Manual, and it’s literally the Allegro 5 API, bestie. no cap. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

al_set_new_window_position — Allegro 5 API. that’s the whole name vibe 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

void al_set_new_window_position(int x, int y)

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So what does it do? It sets where the top left pixel of the client area of newly created windows will be on screen. Important: these are non-fullscreen windows, bestie. And it applies to displays created by the calling thread — like, the thread that calls this is the one whose new displays get the coordinates. 💅

Negative values are allowed on some multihead systems. yep, sometimes the screen setup is giving multi-monitor chaos and negatives are valid. 🌈

To reset back to the default behaviour, pass (INT_MAX, INT_MAX). literally that’s the reset button, no extra steps. ✨
