Program to resize any window to specific sizes (eg.800x600, 1024x768..)?

Question

I need a Windows utility to allow me to resize any window (not just firefox!) to specific sizes.

I need to check what the application I'm writing looks like at these resolutions - how many columns are visible in grids, that sort of thing.

I know I could just change my resolution, but that's a hassle, especially for 800x600 - desktop icons get smooshed together and stuff.

What's a good program that allows me to do this?

Answer 1

Check out Sizer ...

Sizer is a tiny freeware utility that gives you an easy and fast way to resize any window to an exact size. It could be a very useful tool for webmasters and web designers.

Answer 2

You could write your own with AutoHotkey:

#=:: ; [Win]+[=]
    WinGet, window, ID, A
    InputBox, width, Resize, Width:, , 140, 130
    InputBox, height, Resize, Height:, , 140, 130
    WinMove, ahk_id %window%, , , , width, height
    return

Demonstration:

Before: 640 x 480

1. Press Win+=.

2. Enter a width:

   

3. Enter a height:

   

After: 400 x 300

Note: To set a length to 0, you have to input 0. An empty value is ignored. For example, if you only want to resize the height, leave the width blank and enter a value for the height.

For the curious: 0 x 0

As you can see, a window with a title bar and controls has an absolute minimum size.
