Re: [pygame] Starting Window Position

["Ian Mallett" <geometrian@xxxxxxxxx>]

I suppose I was just curious.  You could make really interesting programs- like pong on your desktop with windows!  :)  Whatever.  If it can't be done easily, then it is pointless.

why do you need to dynamically change the display position anyway?
SDL isn't designed for this.
I see no reason why you would need to change the display position.

If it were really necessary, why not just embed an SDL surface in a
WxPython window?
You should be able to set the position of that.
But that's unnecessarily complicated unless you have a real good use for
this.
