Howdy,
I'm curious. Why are the coordinate systems in Cocoa based on the
bottom/left rather than top/left? Did NeXT, by default, open new
windows relative to the bottom of the screen instead of the top, since
there wasn't a menubar at the top? It seems backwards to me, because
the desktop and windows are "anchored" at the top/left and are resized
towards the bottom/right.
I ask, because I recently increased my screen resolution, and now the
windows in my app open up in the middle of the screen rather than at
the top. Turns out, I modified something in IB, and it saved the
windows with the new (actually, the same, but now wrong) positions
which is not at all what I want. Is there a way to force windows in
IB to remain relative to the top/left corner?
