  • Positioning windows near the system tray
  • Multi-monitor or multi-display window alignment
  • Consistent window placement across platforms

Trigger phrases include:

How to use this skill

  1. Install the positioner plugin:
    cargo add tauri-plugin-positioner
    
  2. Register the plugin in your Tauri builder:
    use tauri_plugin_positioner::Position;
    tauri::Builder::default()
        .plugin(tauri_plugin_positioner::init())
    
  3. Configure capabilities in src-tauri/capabilities/default.json:
    { "permissions": ["positioner:allow-move-window"] }
    
  4. Position a window from the frontend:
    import { moveWindow, Position } from '@tauri-apps/plugin-positioner';
    await moveWindow(Position.TrayCenter);    // center below tray icon
    await moveWindow(Position.TopRight);      // top-right corner of screen
    await moveWindow(Position.BottomRight);   // bottom-right corner
    
  5. Handle multi-display by checking which monitor the tray icon is on and positioning relative to it
  6. Account for scaling factors on HiDPI displays that affect coordinate calculations
