Reuse window restoration logic in Unified and Compact app modes

Maybe consolidate / eliminate WLManager ?

Would you please elaborate a bit? Maybe with some screenshots of what you have in mind?

Hey, sure. Currently, in Modular mode, there is some logic in place to ensure that when you open the app, the app windows will be visible on screen. This is important when switching between different monitor setups.

Imagine that you use a Macbook Pro connected to a huge ultrawide 34 inch monitor and you have set up Aural all the way to the right of the ultrawide screen. When you then unplug your MBP from the monitor and use the built-in display and open Aural, it will probably go off-screen since it's X co-ordinate is based on the ultrawide screen. Aural should make sure that the windows always show up on screen (keeping in mind X and Y co-ordinates). Window layout is remembered across app launches.

This logic should be copied over to the Unified and Compact app modes, so that they can benefit from it too. That's pretty much it.

Hope this makes sense ?

This screenshot was taken on my 34 inch ultrawide monitor. Note that Aural would be outside the frame of a normal 16:9 or 16:10 screen like the built-in MBP display.

It does lots of sense of course. Sorry, I had misunderstood and could only guess at something of smaller importance. Thank you.

No worries 😊
