Window Size/Position on Different Monitors

Hasn't anyone else run into this problem? I was able to write a script for Camino using CamiScript that resizes the window, but I'm still looking for a better solution if someone has one.

You could have a script that

1) Loops through every visible process.
2) Within each process, loops through every visible window.
3) For each window, triggers the green button (the "Zoom" button).

Try this manually and see if hitting the green button will fit the windows to the size of the screen they are on. I don't have that setup so I can't test it.

It may require some GUI scripting, which is a little more tedious than straight AppleScript.

If the green button works, let us know and we'll see what can be scripted.

This works, for 30 out of 45 open windows that list themselves as having a programmatically clickable zoom button:
Click HERE to load the script into Script Editor

tell application "System Events"
set theProcesses to every process whose visible is true
repeat with theProcess in theProcesses
tell theProcess
set theWindows to every window
repeat with theWindow in theWindows
set theButtons to (buttons of theWindow)
repeat with theButton in theButtons
try
if (subrole of theButton) is "AXZoomButton" then click theButton
end try
end repeat
end repeat
end tell
end repeat
end tell

Thanks for the script, but clicking the zoom button won't solve my issue. My problem lies more with the position of the window, and not the size.

I seem to be quite content the past day just fixing the browser window with my CamiScript. I am very picky about my browser window, and I guess that was the main issue. So, for now I guess we can put this to rest unless someone has experienced this problem in the past and has a solution.
