Somewhat new to OSX, know Ruby well. I'm sure this is not the right list to post this to, but I'm getting nowhere, and finally found this list ... I've spent about 3 hours and untold googling trying to figure out how to do the below in Ruby. I cannot even get past what kind of Scripting Bridge if any I need, what gems to install if any, and how to get my hands on the relevant objects and play with them in irb, learn their methods and properties, etc. Could some kind soul please help with either - pointer to where I should look for info - some specific things to do for this (totally trivial) script below Thanks! -- Sophie set resolution to words of (do shell script "/usr/sbin/system_profiler SPDisplaysDataType | grep Resolution") set {width, height} to {item 2, item 4} of resolution tell application "System Events" tell (first process whose frontmost is true) set position of first window to {0, 22} set size of first window to {width, height} end tell end tell
