Issue 12 introduced the ability to save in-game window positions. This article aims to document the format/syntax of the text files created.

status 470 959 295 65 1.000000 7c7c7cff 4d 0 2

status = window name
470 = X coordinate
959 = Y coordinate
295 = Width
65 = Height
1.000000 = Window scale
7c7c7cff = Color in RRGGBBAA format. The alpha value is the alpha of the window border, not the window opacity.
4d = Unknown internal field (do not edit)
0 = Detached, 1 here would be attached to its standard parent window
2 = Visible, 4 here hides the window. Numbers > 4 in this field produce odd windows with no title bar that do not always function correctly.
