Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how Quake mode handles the SPI SETWORKAREA system parameter change. Look for missing handling of WM SETTINGCHANGE messages or failure to update window position when workspace area changes. Check the existing code for window positioning logic in response to display changes.
