Basic Properties

Available Top/Left, Height/Width

These properties return the available space on the Screen that's not being used by the operating system. For example, OS X has a menu bar that uses some of the screen pixels at the top of the screen. A dock can be positioned on the left of the screen and will consume a variable amount of pixels, depending on its configured size.
