Hi Hale,

Thanks for your reply for seting the startup position of OpenGL Display window and Tk console window.

Besides, I came to know how to customize the startup position of VMD console window on Windows:
The startup position of VMD console window is determined by Windows system.
One can right-click the title of the VMD console window, click "Properties".
Switch to "Layout" Tab，uncheck "Let system position window", and set left as 500, top as 10.

After properly setting the startup position of VMD Main window and VMD console window,
these three windows don't float on each other. Nice!

Best,
Anbang

Hi Anbang,
 
Please add the following commands to your .vmdrc file:
 
For the OpenGL Display: display reposition “your x-coordinate” “your y-coordinate”
For tk console: menu tkcon move “your x-coordinate” “your y-coordinate”
 
Best,
Hale

Dear VMD-Community,

I have read VMD user's guide, and have known to specify the startup position of VMD Main window by writing statements in vmd.rc：
menu main move 10 550

However, how can I specify the startup position of the OpenGL Display window and the VMD Console window?
I executed command "menu list", but found that there is no name for those two windows.

All the best,
Anbang
