Feature Request: Set Window Resolution

I'd love it if WindowFX, Windowblinds, or some other app let me right-click or something on a window and set its resolution manually.  I know I can select the lower-right corner and drag, but sometimes I want something precise (such as displaying an old 640x480 resolution game in 1280x960).

Just an idea...

Are you talking about setting an arbitrary window's size? Something like that is very doable, and there may even be apps out there that can already do this. Thank you for the feature request, I will pass it along. :)

I use PowerPro for things like that (as well as Menus, toolbars, hotkeys, macros and more!) and it's FREE!

milksama - that's exactly what I mean.  WindowFX comes close: it has an option for CTRL-clicking, ALT-clicking etc. that will change windows to a preset resolution, but it applies to all windows.  I want something like "right click top window border, and a drop-down appears that lists preset window resolutions, or an option to manually set the window's resolution".  Combine that with the ability to snap windows to the screen edges (don't forget multiple monitor scenarios), and that'd be very helpful.

Picture having 8 or 9 PuTTy windows open: it'd be nice to be able to tile them, so to speak, and take advantage of a high-resolution monitor.

 

DanDaBear - Thanks for the link!  I'll try that out.

You mean like this?

Yes, though I sometimes need more than two windows displayed as such.

How did you get that menu, btw?  RightClick?

Yeah, just right click on the taskbar.  It should work with more than one window.

That's right click, not RightClick.

You know, after 13 years of using Windows, and 5 using Windows XP, I thought I knew the interface in-and-out.  Thanks!

We all do, yet I'm still finding new shortcuts and settings all the time.
