I'm getting my system display resolution from vision but not in perspective as it is returning some different resolution ..  
system display resolution is : 1366 \* 768  
Vision o/p: 1366 \* 768  
Perspective o/p: 1024\*768

below code worked in vision but giving different values when used in perspective.. please help

```auto
gd=java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getDefaultScreenDevice()
width = gd.getDisplayMode().getWidth()
height = gd.getDisplayMode().getHeight()
print('width',width,' height',height)
window=system.gui.getParentWindow(event)
window.setSize(int(round(width*0.25)), int(round(height*0.65)))

```

I can't see how this would be working at all I Perspective since this library (gui) is for Vision only. In Perspective you can just read the various page props. If you add a property binding on the view, expand the 'page' root prop

The values don't update in the designer because it doesn't have any concept of a page. Try to put this binding on a label and opening it in a browser, you should see values update there.

`'Viewport Width: ' + {page.props.dimensions.viewport.width} + ' Height: ' + {page.props.dimensions.viewport.height}`
