WindowSize

Some computer applications come with custom-made interfaces so they seem personal or provide something different than the classic design you’re already used to. This might mean resizing is impossible, but it can also be difficult to resize classic windows on a cluttered desktop. This is where WindowSize comes in handy, letting you resize a window with only a few mouse clicks.

Apart from the main functionality, the application has other advantages as well. For instance, you can easily extract the archive on an USB Flash drive in order to save disk space and use it on other computers besides your own. Because of the programming style, you need to make sure Visual Basic Runtime is installed on the computer it runs.

Ironically enough, the application holds all of its features in a pretty compact main window that can’t be resized. Don’t worry, we tried using its own features on itself, but with no result. This isn’t a bad thing, and you don’t even have to worry about accommodation, because options are pretty intuitive and self-explanatory.

There are two main options you can use to resize a window. One of them is to select from a list of several resolutions, ranging from 640 x 480 to 1600 x 1200, or simply filling in the corresponding fields for width and height manually. Your screen resolution is shown as reference.

In order for the resize operation to work fine, the application gives you the possibility to specify whether or not the target window has a border and its thickness. There’s a similar option for the taskbar, and you can manually write down the number of pixels the taskbar takes in height or width, as well as its orientation.

Unlike other applications of it’s kind, the method used here to resize is to click once to trigger the function, then click the target window to finish resizing. The window is also shown in a small field along with size specifications. You can get back the previous size through the same manner, but with a different function.

Taking everything into consideration, we can safely state that WindowSize is a neat tool to have around, especially if you know your desktop gets easily cluttered. Portability is a cool advantage, while the main window and overall style are sure to quickly get you up and running. Either picking from available presets or manually specifying size, the task is done in a jiffy.
