[SOLVED] Better Wbar positions? [SOLVED]

I'm customizing the wbar and I'm trying to find out if there is a more exact way to move the bar around a dual screen. Maybe some X Y positioning. The top-left top-right isn't exact enough. I've googled all night for more documentation. Anyone have a clue?

I'm using openbox.

Thank you

Re: [SOLVED] Better Wbar positions? [SOLVED]

First you'll need the application-specific settings techniques from:
http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Applications

Using this approach you can set a position for wbar using something like this:
    <application class="wbar"> <--I don't actually know the class...
      <position><x>0</x><y>30</y></position>

There are methods for controlling which screen, which desktop, etc. On top of which, there's a tool called OBApps that might be helpful (see page referenced above).

If you've already seen all this stuff and nothing worked, oops!
