Is there anyway for AWM or another method to FORCE the Windows UAC to a specific monitor and/or position (as in where the mouse pointer is located)?
Thanks!
Sincerely,
Lars

Hello, Zardoz2293! Thank you for the question!
Unfortunately, there is no way to apply any rules to UAC windows. Those windows seem to be unreachable for Actual Window Manager.
Best regards.

Thanks for the information Alexander.
I'd like to pass a bit of information to you and if you have any ideas or feedback, I'd like to hear it. I use True Launch Bar (TLB) which provides great features for docking menus, and more on the Taskbar as well as having another Taskbar on secondary monitors. I have a two monitor system, UAC set to maximum, and the Taskbar(s) are docked at the top of the screen. OS is Windows 7 64-bit all patches/updates installed.
Perhaps 94 percent of the time the UAC is displayed in the center of the screen on monitor #1 (primary), the other perhaps 3 percent of the time the UAC will appear either centered in the application which caused the UAC event or UAC will be displayed right next to the Windows Start (top-left) button. The remaining UAC events (about 3 percent) appear on monitor #2 (secondary), perhaps half are centered within the screen and the balance is again displayed next to the Windows Start (top-left).
My conclusion is it is possible to route the UAC to a specific monitor or screen position based on the above behavior, if it wasn't then I'd expect to see it always appear on monitor #1 centered within the screen.
In the "ideal" I'd think the UAC would always appear centered-middle on whatever monitor has the mouse pointer as I'd expect that would mean your eyes are focused at that location.
I realize if there isn't adequate documentation on the UAC and its behavior then it could take a herculean effort to solve the mystery.
What do you think?
Sincerely,
Lars

I haven't checked all of the UAC combinations based on AWM SS but I'm getting all of them working as expected, except for one instance. I believe this one anomaly I've thus found is directly related to the DS.Size glitch I've reported in other threads.
What are your thoughts?
Sincerely,
Lars

Dear Lars,
I've been trying all the possible ways of reproducing the issue that could ever come to my mind and haven't succeded with it yet.
Please provide me with the directions with as many details as possible.
Best regards.

Now it is possible when DS is disabled and the UAE appears to get displayed randomly that the SS Position may not work as the implementation on who the SS Position code is executed may in fact be significantly different than in the DS area. I don't know, as I don't have the code and I haven't performed significant testing. I just know I've found what appears to be a predicable method to get the desired behavior I require.
Alexander, please keep in mind that the AWM configuration file I sent yesterday is very close to what I'm using, BUT I'm frequently enabling and disabling the DS as I've discovered many behavior changes occur based on its status (even when deselecting all of the user defined definable values).
Did this answer your question? Can you reproduce?
What are your thoughts?
Sincerely,
Lars
Sincerely,
Lars

Thank you, Lars. I'm still unable to reproduce.
Please tell me, how exactly you invoke the UAC dialog.
In the abbreviation UAE what does "E" stand for?
Best regards.

Thank you for your reply, Lars!
The thing is - I haven't yet managed to get my UAC-dialogs on any monitor that is not primary. Nor have I ever seen any of my actions and configurations having any impact on UAC dialog windows behavior. So I'm asking you to provide me with any details that would help me reproduce the issue.
Best regards.

Is there an email size limit?
BTW, What video card are you using and the drivers?
I'm using EVGA GeForce GTX 480, drivers v344.11
Sincerely,
Lars
