Hi @napcok,
What do you think about the following.
> To give Pyradio Guake behavior. [W+r]
#### Why β¦
It is quieter and quick way to use the radio.
It prevents opening a new Pyradio instance every [W+r].

#### I got it to work, ugly for now . . . .
_What happend_
- I am not getting out of the position management, as you set it up.
- In my .config/mabox, i canβt see a file created for dimensions. (.quake-pyradio in my case).
- Using the ${HEIGHT}x etc lines, gives me only the terminal. No pyradio.
* * *
**As you can see, thatβs why I put down the position fixed, for now.**

}
__save() {

}
__reset() {
rm -f $GEOMETRY_FILE

Curious what you think of the idea **- Pyradio quake like -**

Hi @muzqs
I modified script a little, now saving position should work.
I also added --icon and removed -b (borderless - no window decoration option)
```auto
#!/bin/bash
GEOMETRY_FILE="$HOME/.config/mabox/.quake-pyradio"
NAME="quakeradio"
__run() {
ID=$(wmctrl -x -l | grep ${NAME} | awk '{print $1}' | head -n 1)
if [-z "${ID}"]; then
if [-f "$GEOMETRY_FILE"]; then
POS=$(head -n 1 $GEOMETRY_FILE)
terminator -T ${NAME} --icon=/usr/share/icons/pyradio.png --geometry "$POS" -e 'pyradio -lt'
else
terminator -T ${NAME} --icon=/usr/share/icons/pyradio.png --geometry "900x400+150+48" -e 'pyradio -lt'
fi
else
ID_DEC=$((${ID}))
ACTIVE_WIN_DEC=$(xdotool getactivewindow)
if ["${ACTIVE_WIN_DEC}" == "${ID_DEC}"]; then
xdotool windowminimize ${ID_DEC}
else
xdotool windowactivate ${ID_DEC}
fi
fi
}
__save() {
eval $(xdotool getwindowgeometry --shell $(xdotool search --name ${NAME}))
echo "${WIDTH}x${HEIGHT}+${X}+${Y}" > $GEOMETRY_FILE
}
__reset() {
rm -f $GEOMETRY_FILE
}
case "$1" in
save) __save;;
reset) __reset;;
*) __run;;
esac
```

Hi @napcok,
Thanks for taking the time looking at the script.

#### A check thingy.
> Is it **True|False** that `.quakeradio` is needed to be created **manually**.
Once I manually create the file `.quakeradio` with a line like this, **900x400+150+48** , then
the positioning works. `$POS`
If `.qaukeradio` [$GEOMETRY\_FILE] does not exist, it is also not created during the process.
_Actually i never saw `.quake-term` or` .quakeradio` file automatic generated._
```auto
__save() {
eval $(xdotool getwindowgeometry --shell $(xdotool search --name ${NAME}))
echo "${WIDTH}x${HEIGHT}+${X}+${Y}" > $GEOMETRY_FILE
}
```
Without `.quakeradio` the dimensions are `top, left`, not using the `else`.
```auto
else
terminator -T ${NAME} --icon=/usr/share/icons/pyradio.png --geometry "900x400+150+48" -e 'pyradio -lt'
fi
```

#### π΅βπ« I guess I donβt understand how the `$GEOMETRY_FILE` part works. π΅βπ«
Once I have manually edit `.quakeradio`, it works very nicely.
_Very happy with `W+r` now._π¦

It is not automatically generated.
You need to run command:
```auto
your_scriptname save
```
to generate it.

**Notes** :
- Files in variables; clear and easier to customize later on.
- Simplified method for getting the ID.
- Avoid a possible _race condition_ where the Geometry File may exists but it is empty.
- I was trying to get rid of the number format converting line but, surprisingly, none of the commands has a native way to do so. π΅βπ«
