Some of the interfaces I've seen, like the
clock/compass mod I use rely on the two windows having the same top/left corner to position them. That works wel for windows that are a fixed width, but if one of them is resizable then it doesn't work correctly.
For example, I had a request of my
maintained spell window to right align the icons. On the left align version, it's easy. Just set the small window with just the icons and the big window with all the info to use the same location. But, since the big window is resizable, aligning the two windows to have the same right side was a bit of a problem.
I started experimenting with the way that the client repositions items within a page when you resize that page as a way to do the math necessary. I accidentally trashed the HD with all the work on it, so I'll be starting over once I get the next incarnation of my raid window working.
I hope that makes clearer what I was working on accomplishing.
But, in theory, you could use it to have a group window that is always aligned to the bottom of the screen and grows upward as members join/leave the group. Or to keep two windows positioned vertically one above the other regardless of the size of the windows.
