My question is why? You got a Mac sitting in front of you, let her do it. That's fine if you want to adjust your icon positions for each screen resolution you use. Other applications/scripts allow you to save multiple icon positions at different screen resolutions. There's only one application that I know of which does that, but they want money to do it.

In other words, if an icon is at the bottom right corner of the display when the icon positions are stored then that icon will always be placed at the bottom right corner regardless of the screen resolution. Next, DIM doesn't get confused when you store the icon positions at one screen resolution and then restore them at a different screen resolution. DIM allows you to have an infinite number of saved icon arrangements.

While you may only use one icon arrangement, there are others who prefer to use more than one for a variety of reasons. There are applications and other scripts that do the same thing, so why is this one different?įirst, DIM allows you to save multiple icon arrangements.
