Could it be possible to change the algorithm for position 7 so that it's not

for I = 1,n
Window[I].top = i*(ScreenHeight/n+1) - Window[i].height/2

but instead

for I = 1,n
totalHeight += Window[I].height

first = Screenheight/2 - totalheight/2

Window[1].top = first
for I = 1,n-1
Window[I+1].top = Window[I].top + Window[I].height


The way the current positioning works, if you have 4 miniwindows. 1 positioned at 6 (top right), 1 at 8 (bottom right) and 2 at 7 (centered right side), the 2 centered ones can overlap the two corner ones with empty space in the middle.

I just came back to say I figured out what my problem was...
The windows positioned in the corners had the Draw Underneath flag set.

Sorry! My goof!

(I guess the regulars can't post images?)

Only one person can post images. :-)

Looking at those pictures, I can see you are making good use of the new features. Looking forwards to the release.
