I want something similar if I understand you correctly: I want that all
frames appear slightly shifted horizontally. I use
'after-make-frame-functions' to implement this:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(require 'cl-lib)
(defun my-reposition-frame-after-create (frame)
(when window-system
(if (> (frame-pixel-width frame) (display-pixel-width))
(set-frame-parameter nil 'fullscreen 'maximized)
(let* ((frames (delq frame (filtered-frame-list (lambda (f) (eq t
(frame-visible-p f))))))
(xs (cl-remove-if (lambda (val) (not (integerp val)))
(mapcar (lambda (f) (frame-parameter f 'left))
frames)))
(new-x 0))
(while (member new-x xs)
(cl-incf new-x 20))
(set-frame-parameter frame 'left new-x)
(set-frame-parameter frame 'user-position t)))))
(add-hook 'after-make-frame-functions #'my-reposition-frame-after-create)
#+end_src
It's a hack but got enough for me. I have some more related stuff,
e.g. to reorder frames to fill the gap of a deleted frame.
Michael.
