When I write my program and then compile & run it, my output window appears at the bottom right corner so I have to drag & drop it to the center so I can enter my data.

Is there any way to make the default output window position the center of the screen?

I am running with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and code blocks version 13.12 that I installed from Ubuntu Software Center

I gave an answer in this thread (the only difference being the terminal you want to use).
But if you want to keep using xterm, use the following command instead :

In codeblocks :

  • Go to Settings > Environment > General Settings.
  • Change the "Terminal to launch console programs" option to :

xterm -T $TITLE -geometry WIDTHxHEIGHT+XOFF+YOFF -e

WIDTH : The width of the terminal window
HEIGHT : The height of the terminal window
+XOFF : The left edge of the window is to be placed XOFF pixels in from the left edge of the screen
+YOFF : The top edge of the window is to be YOFF pixels below the top edge of the screen

I used the following to have the terminal almost centered on my screen (change them to fit your screen resolution):

xterm -T $TITLE -geometry 80x20+300+240 -e
