-The *Screen* and *ScreenVisible* text token return the frame or visible frame of the specified screen.  It takes a parameter indicating which screen to use.
+The //[[token:Screen|%Screen%]]// tokens returns the frame of the specified screen.
-The parameter may be:
+The //[[token:ScreenVisible|%ScreenVisible%]]// tokens returns the visible frame of the specified screen, excluding the menu bar and the dock.
-* Main or 0: the main screen (the defined one with the menu bar on it, although this is less apparent now that the menu bar is on all monitors).
+Both take a parameter indicating which screen to use which may be:
-* Second: the left most screen that is not the Main screen.
-* Third: the left most screen that is not the Main or Second screen.
-* Internal: the left most internal screen.
-* External: the left most external screen.
-* Front: the left most screen containing (most of) the front window.
-* Back: the left most screen that is not the Front screen.
-* Back2: the left most screen that is not the Front or Back screen.
-* Mouse: the  left most screen containing the mouse cursor.
-* Positive Number: the indexed screen from left to right.
-* Negative Number: the indexed screen from right to left.
-So for example, *%ScreenVisible% Main%* gives the visible frame of the main screen.

-Like all coordinates in Keyboard Maestro, the frames are from the top left corner of the main screen.
+So for example, //%ScreenVisible%Main%// gives the visible frame of the main screen.
+Like all frames in Keyboard Maestro, they are of the form left, top, width, and height, and are from the top left corner of the main screen.
