Hi, is it possible to resize an application upon launching? When I start my application using the Perspective Workstation, it will occupy my entire screen. I wanted to open an application in a desired smaller size. Right now, I resize my window manually to make it smaller. Are there parameters that I can set to do this? Any comment is appreciated, thanks!

In vision you can use project properties to change the launching size option:

Thanks @pkhoshroo. The app is Perspective and there is no option for height and width in Perspective project properties.

This isn’t currently an option for Perspective Workstation. You could create a post at [ideas.inductiveautomation.com](http://ideas.inductiveautomation.com) to add this option though. If it has some traction we could introduce this feature.

Hope that helps,
