I searched the forums and combed the wiki, but couldn't find any way to modify where the info window opens up in MaLa.  It seems to default in the center, which would normally be fine, but I'm running MaLa in 1024x1536 (dual monitor config) and opening the info window results in it getting split between two screens.

Any advice or am I out of luck?

It delibreratly comes up middle of screen so that it can be in the right place no matter what resolution you set.  It does nots have an option for it to be set anywhere else.

You can always edit mala.ini by hand   :laugh2:  OK if you were really keen :-)

If hypothetically a future MaLa version gave you the option of having it top left would that be ok?

I got a bigger kick out of me editing the .ini file by hand than you did!   ;D  I'm not too sharp on that type of stuff, but I might give it a try. 

I can definitely see why the window comes up where it does.  Most people probably don't run it with dual monitors so it makes the most sense to have it in the middle.  I figured it was worth a try though seeing how flexible the front end is. 

Top left corner would be great though... hypothetically that is!  ;)
