Hi,
I have tried this script, but got an error 1 message with the following
code selection:
--
do shell script "defaults read
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver | grep -w Width"
--
What's the problem ?
What is "defaults read " ?
Yours,
Bernard

This may be well-known and simply disliked, but you can hack around
this deficiency. Sort of.
tell application "Finder"
activate
set s to {(word 3 of (do shell script "defaults read
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver | grep -w Width")) as
number, (word 3 of (do shell script "defaults read
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver | grep -w Height")) as
number} --------------------------------------------------
open (path to desktop folder from user domain)
set dp to desktop picture
tell Finder window "Desktop"
set current view to icon view
set collapsed to false
set toolbar visible to false
set the bounds of it to {0, 22, (item 1 of s) + 15, (item 2 of s)}
end tell
set itemList to (every item of the desktop)
set positionList to (position of every item of the desktop)
repeat with thisItem in itemList
set the position of thisItem to {(item 1 of s) / 2, (item 2 of s) /
2}
delay 0.2
end repeat
repeat with i from 1 to length of itemList
set the position of item i of itemList to item i of positionList
delay 0.2
end repeat
end tell
Paul
