Desktop.SaveIconsGrid

Description

• Aligns icons according to a grid & optionally also saves their relative position details to a file.

Syntax

• Desktop.SaveIconsGrid (xSpacing, ySpacing[, filename])

Parameters

xSpacing

(integer) horizontal grid spacing

ySpacing

(integer) vertical grid spacing

filename

(string) name of the icon positions file, including the ".iconpos" extension

Optional, default is to not save position details to a file but to just align the icons.

Examples

• Desktop.SaveIconsGrid(30, 20)
  • Aligns the desktop icons according to a grid with a relative horizontal spacing factor of 30 & a relative vertical spacing factor of 20.
• Desktop.SaveIconsGrid(30, 20, "deskicons.iconpos")
  • Aligns the desktop icons according to a grid with a relative horizontal spacing factor of 30 & a relative vertical spacing factor of 20, then saves the icons' relative positions to the file "deskicons.iconpos".

Notes

• All .iconpos files are kept in the Powerpro folder.
• Positions are stored as numbers that are independent of screen resolution. This enables relative icon positions to be maintained under different screen resolutions.
