When to use this skill
ALWAYS use this skill when the user mentions:
- Positioning windows near the system tray
- Multi-monitor or multi-display window alignment
- Consistent window placement across platforms
Trigger phrases include:
- "positioner", "window position", "tray window", "multi-monitor", "align window"
How to use this skill
- Install the positioner plugin:
cargo add tauri-plugin-positioner - Register the plugin in your Tauri builder:
use tauri_plugin_positioner::Position; tauri::Builder::default() .plugin(tauri_plugin_positioner::init()) - Configure capabilities in
src-tauri/capabilities/default.json:{ "permissions": ["positioner:allow-move-window"] } - 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 - Handle multi-display by checking which monitor the tray icon is on and positioning relative to it
- Account for scaling factors on HiDPI displays that affect coordinate calculations
Outputs
- Positioner plugin setup with Position enum
- Tray-relative and screen-relative positioning
- Multi-display and HiDPI scaling guidance
