=== Off-Screen Window Restore

Source : https://github.com/mezga0153/offscreen-window-restore

A simple shell script that moves off-screen windows back.

This script was made to fix a bug in unity where if you have multiple monitors, when they wake up after being off some windows move off-screen.

<code bash>
sudo apt-get install wmctrl x11-xserver-utils
</code>

''offscreen-window-restore.sh''
<code bash>
#!/bin/bash
#
# This script moves back windows that have been moved off screen

		if ($3 >= w || $3 < 0) {
			system("wmctrl -i -r " $1 " -e 0," sqrt($3*$3) % w ",-1,-1,-1");
		}
	}
}'			

height=`xrandr | grep current | awk {'print $10'} | cut -d ',' -f1`

		if ($4 >= h || $4 < 0) {
			system("wmctrl -i -r " $1 " -e 0,-1," sqrt($4*$4) % h ",-1,-1");
		}
