I have two macros for dividing up my screen (a la the many divvy apps for quickly setting window position with hotkeys) . One 50% of the screen, the left side, the other the right side. They still work great, but now El Capitan gives us the option to hide the menu bar. Yet, when I choose to make an app half the screen, it still leaves space at the top for the menu bar... even though the menu bar is now hidden. I wonder if it is possible to make the window span the entire distance.
Does that make sense? Here are two photos. One is the macro as I have it set up. The other is the window scanning the left 50% of the screen... except for the space where the mac menu would be if it wasn't hidden. I can drag the window up, but when I use the macro it leaves that gap.
I just checked. Actually my “Window left” and “Window right” macros are slightly different.
Window Right macro:
Screen(Main,MidX)
Screen(Main,Top)+22
Screen(Main,Width)*50%
Screen(Main,Height)-22
Window Left macro:
SCREENVISIBLE(Main,Left)
SCREENVISIBLE(Main,Top)
SCREENVISIBLE(Main,Width)*50%
SCREENVISIBLE(Main,Height)*100%
Don’t know why they are different… I made them both with the popup menus. Oh well. Both give the exact same effect, they resize to 50% left or right, but leave a gap at the top for the hidden Mac menu.
If this is a bug on Apple’s part, I suppose I have to wait till they patch it, eh? Oh well. Thanks for checking it out.
Sorry for the delayed response. Haven’t had much time to use the computer lately.
Well, I uninstalled Keyboard Maestro, ran Onyx to clean out all system caches, and then reinstalled KM and now things work as expected. I have no idea why that fixed things… but it did. I’ll be sure to try this next time I have problems before asking for help.
Sorry to be a bother. Thanks for trying to help me, and thanks Peter for the awesome app.
