Exactly.
And since most of such setups are different DPIs it actually becomes more fun.

Especially since some applications tend to save and restore their positions
(not saying this is the case here, but...).

But windows positioning/layout never should be hardcoded and it should
depend on some kind of layout system. All cross-platform toolkit does it -
JAVA, wxWidgets, GTK, Qt.

And so from what I understand - the OP is just trying to re-invent the wheel.
All I can say is - every tool is different.And whatever was good 20 years ago,
today is completely obsolete.

Good luck to him.
