;; Print, freeSize
;; 1280 946
FUNCTION GetPrimaryScreenSize, Exclude_Taskbar=exclude_Taskbar
oMonInfo = Obj_New('IDLsysMonitorInfo')
rects = oMonInfo -> GetRectangles(Exclude_Taskbar=exclude_Taskbar)
pmi = oMonInfo -> GetPrimaryMonitorIndex()
Obj_Destroy, oMonInfo
Return, rects[[2, 3], pmi] ; w & h of primary monitor avbl.
