Automatically center the window before scaling to fullscreen

Expected behavior 预期的功能

If the user has only a single monitor, or if they’ve selected the Monitor closest to the source window option, I think it would be a good idea to automatically center the game window on that monitor before scaling it to fullscreen.

When the window isn’t centered, fake modals and the like aren’t positioned correctly, and they end up looking odd. See the following screenshot as an example:

By centering the game window before scaling to fullscreen, the same popup is properly aligned, as shown here:

Magpie’s principle is to avoid manipulating the source window unless absolutely necessary. I don’t see popup positioning as a problem that requires fixing, menu offset issues are much more serious, though there’s currently no solution for them.

Magpie’s principle is to avoid manipulating the source window unless absolutely necessary.

I believe the rationale behind this approach is to avoid being intrusive, which I wholeheartedly agree with. However, I personally don’t consider centering the window, given that it improves popup positioning, to be intrusive. I’d wager that most users wouldn’t expect the original position of the source window to affect a popup’s position after the source window has been scaled by Magpie. So, I believe having Magpie handle this automatically would improve the user experience. I believe Magpie already centers the window if any of its edges go beyond the screen bounds (at least when the user has only a single monitor), and I don’t think this would be any more intrusive than that. Providing this as an opt-in feature would also be a reasonable compromise if it is otherwise considered too intrusive.
