webview Set default window position

It would be great to be able to specify the window's coordinates when it first is created.

Absolute coordinates (x, y)
Center window
Don't care (let the window manager decide)

@zserge, with the following code, and in Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS, libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 version 2.34.1 The window always appeared in the top-left of the screen.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/webview/webview"
)

func main() {
	w := webview.New(true)
	defer w.Destroy()
	w.SetTitle("Choices")
	w.SetSize(300, 60, webview.HintNone)

	var count uint
	if err := w.Bind("btnClicked", func() {
		fmt.Printf("Button click count: %v\n", count)
		count++
	}); err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	w.Navigate(`data:text/html,
		<!doctype html>
		<html>
			<body>
				<button onclick="btnClicked()">AA</button>
				<button onclick="btnClicked()">BB</button>
				<button onclick="btnClicked()">CC</button>
			</body>
		</html>`)

	w.Run()
}

Here is an example on how to center the window under Windows and C++:


    // Create the webview
    webview::webview w(false, nullptr);
    w.set_title("Test");
    w.set_size(980, 650, WEBVIEW_HINT_NONE);
    w.set_size(585, 550, WEBVIEW_HINT_MIN);

    // Center
    HWND hwndApp = static_cast<HWND>(w.window());
    HWND hwndScreen = GetDesktopWindow();  
    RECT  rectScreen;      
    GetWindowRect(hwndScreen, &rectScreen);      
    int ConsolePosX = ((rectScreen.right - rectScreen.left) / 2 - 1000 /2 );
    int ConsolePosY = ((rectScreen.bottom - rectScreen.top)/ 2 - 500 /2 );   
    SetWindowPos(hwndApp, NULL, ConsolePosX, ConsolePosY,0,0, SWP_SHOWWINDOW || SWP_NOSIZE);
