### 5.11. Window Geometry Manager

This tool dialog is called from the left titlebar button menu. Or from Meta+Alt+G key combination from the window context. This Manager offers convenience to save size and position of the non-transient window. Once window geometry is saved, next run of the same application window on FVWM page where the window of the same resource+class combination is not already present will cause window to be resized to that exact width, height, X position and Y position X11 coordinates as stored in the `$FVWM_USERDIR/GeoDB.ini`. This ini-style file is managed by this application, as well as from the background runner `$NSCDE_TOOLSDIR/confset` and read by the `$NSCDE_TOOLSDIR/confget`. Application automatically fills X11 Class and X11 Resource names on contextual call, as well as geometry parameters. Before applying this settings, user has a chance to fine tune this parameters in text fields and confirm (or cancel) the action on the end. Using Clear all geometry values, as well as those which may be saved from the past are cleared and deleted. After the Clear action, there are two options:

- Filling all fields manually and saving the result

- Saving empty fields: this action will cancel and/or remove any existing geometry mappings for the selected X11 program window.

Note that geometry savings are dependent on the current monitor resolution. In other words, size and position of the X11 window are saved for 1920x1080, 2560x1440, 1600x900 and any other possible monitor resolution. Multiple savings on different monitor resolutions are possible and saved under separate sections in `$FVWM_USERDIR/GeoDB.ini`.
