Centering a Window?

This is related to an Interface file. I've created a new window, problem is it spawns at the top of the screen. I'm asking how I would be able to make it centered in the middle of the screen. I have tried basically moving it when editing the window but that did not work. I'm also not sure if coding would fix this or if there is a special way to edit the file. Help would be greatly appreciated.

winset(src,windowname,"pos=100x100")


That isn't the POS to center but that's how I get my windows to center. Just find the center by adjusting the pos.

// Gets the screen x and y size of our player's resolution.
proc/get_screen(screen_size, client/c)
    
    // Find the resolution divider "x" exp: 1920x1020
    var/x_pos = findtext(screen_size, "x")
    
    // Copy from the beginning of the screen size to x.
    var/_x = copytext(screen_size, 1, x_pos)
    
    // Set our client variable,to _x as a number.
    c.screen_x = text2num(_x)
    
    // Copy from x to the end of the string.
    var/_y = copytext(screen_size, x_pos+1, 0)
    
    // Do the same for y.
    c.screen_y = text2num(_y)

client

    // These variables don't need to be saved. \
    They will be used to break down the player's resolution.
    var/tmp/screen_x
    var/tmp/screen_y
    
    // When a new human connects our world.
    New()
        . = ..()
        
        // Maximize your main window, be sure to have a control \
        located in it. Preferably a child.
        winset(src, "main_window","is-maximized = true")
        
        // Get the size of the control.
        var/screen_size = winget(src, "main_window.main_child", "size")
        
        // Set it back to it's normal size.
        winset(src, "main_window", "is-maximized = false")
        
        // Call our get_screen() procedure using the correct arguments.
        get_screen(screen_size, src)
        
        // Set the windows position on the screen. To, center you will \
        need to add the width of your window like below.
        winset(src, "main_window", "pos = [(src.screen_x + 640) / (4)],[(src.screen_y / 4)]")


I just thought I would through this out there. It works best if you make the window you are using transparent, and the window doesn't have a status bar, title bar, etc. You can change these at runtime.

Just remember that not everyone has the same resolution as you.

Similar to Ulterior Motives, but this one works:
//STEP 1! create a new interface window, I'm naming mine RESIZEPLX. Make it invisible and just throw it in a corner, you're done with it.

client
 var
  res_x
  res_y
 proc
  icanhasresize()
   //resize that "RESIZEPLX" window to a high number, it'll auto adjust size to your screen resolution
   winset(src,"RESIZEPLX","size=9001x9001")
  //bla bla
   var/sizexy=winget(src,"RESIZEPLX","size")
   res_x=text2num(copytext(sizexy,1,findtext(sizexy,"x")))
   res_y=text2num(copytext(sizexy,findtext(sizexy,"x")+1))
 New()
  ..()
  //can you has?
  icanhasresize()
  //center using simple math
  winset(src,"MAINWINDOWw.e","pos=[round((res_x-800)/2)]x[round((res_y-600)/2)]")
  //800x600 being my window's dimensions <.<
