hi, dear list !
is there a way to change the PD-console-window's position and size with a message form within a patch ?
i know about the "relocate" method for subpatches, but couldn't find out how to adress the console window, if that's possible at all.
any ideas ? (an external or plugin-based solution would do as well)
best

None known to me, but I hope the others have an idea.
Nevertheless, if you are on Linux, there is ways to change the properties of X windows after they were created with tools such as xdotool, wmctrl, etc.

Idk much about it but It seems like if you knew the port number you could maybe send some message to the gui with [netsend]?perhaps using the -guiport or -guicmd startup flags somehow? if you can use externals you can send [wm geometry .pdwindow +400+200( to [hcs/sys_gui] (where 400 is x-pixels and 200 is y-pixels) -seb

thanks, yeah ! that's the one i was looking for !
for completeness:
[wm geometry .pdwindow 200x500+400+200( | [hcs/sys_gui]
to change size and position:
[Width_x]x[Height_y]+[Pos_x]+[Pos_y]
