Random position of a random quotes

[OverTheRainbow]

Hi everyone,

I want to show random quotes in my desktop in a random position. Randomising quotes is Ok. Randomising position is not. When I look in the log, all my measure are OK. I can't figure out why it doesn't move?

Does someone know how to fix that? Thanks!

This is where DynamicVariables actually comes in. In order to use a measure value outside of a Calc measure's Formula setting it needs to be surrounded by [brackets] and DynamicVariables=1 needs to be set for that section.
