Having downloaded glade from Homebrew 🍺, I can only run it directly from the terminal. Since I always use my 34″ external monitor, I never had a problem launching and playing around with it.
But this week, since I’m off my desk, programming at various cafes or friend’s place, my machine is all by itself relying only on the 15″ internal monitor. When I launched glade, it would run the process but the window dimensions and placement were still the same as the last time I launched (on my external monitor).
Frustrated, I couldn’t figureout a way neither to resize it nor to move it. Yea.. gnome‘s highest priority is not exactly to build it’s applications for macOS so the window handling is a bit dodgy. Not complaining at all, I’m extremely thankful that I’m even able to run it and use it on macOS, but it’s just the way it is.
A quick and easy fix for this was to edit the: ~/.config/glade.conf and adjust the: main-x main-y main-width main-height In fact my main-y was stuck at -661
Here’s a short tut.
