Looks like I didn’t do my research; system.gui.transform() requires that the component to be manipulated is an Ignition component, which prevents you from modifying more basic Java objects like the window/root container. You can call setSize explicitly - what you’d have to do is shrink the ‘main’ window, and ‘grow’ the docked window to compensate.
