Mplayer Dosen't Remember Its Screen Position

gmcle454

This is realy more of an annoyance than a problem, but every time I open Mplayer, it opens in the bottom left of my screen, with the bottom half of the player actually off screen. Is there a way to get Mplayer to remember where it was when it was last closed, and open up back there?

Well, in Enlightenment, I can right-click the title bar and select "Remember", then I can choose what things I want it to remember (position, size, status etc.)

I found out how to change the startup location. Unfortuanatley it isn't terribly configurable. You can only choose top, midle, bottom and left, center, right in any combination. I would prefer to have exact coordinates, but that's life.

Open the file /usr/share/mplayer/Skin/[what-ever-skin-you-use]/skin with your favorite text editor.
Find the following line: base = main, [something], [something]
Change the numbers to what ever you want. Below is the x and y coordinate explination that the skin uses. It came directly from the default skin's skin file.
