• position
• y-offset

• fields

position

position can be configured where the number represents the position on this screen in this way

y-offset

y-offset is measured in pixels. A positive value moves the window downward, while a negative value moves it upward.

x-offset is measured in pixels. A positive value move the window rightward, while a negative value moves it leftward.
