Sizer
(ver 3.3)
Freeware


Sizer is a utility that allows you to resize any window to 
an exact, predefined size. This is extremely useful when 
designing web pages, as it allows you to see how the page 
will look when viewed at a smaller size. The utility is also 
handy when compiling screen-shots for documentation, using 
Sizer allows you to easily maintain the same window size 
across screen grabs.


NOTE: This is the last Win2k version.  


Sizer FAQ

Q: Why doesn’t interactive sizing work with xxxx program?

A: Sizer doesn’t work with all programs. Whilst I’ve tried my 
best to make it compatible with most popular programs, I can 
offer no guarantee that it will work.

Issues are typically seen because other applications don’t follow 
the standard way of doing things. Applications should let the 
operating system handle sizing and placement of the their windows. 
Unfortunately a growing class of applications ignore this: 
Firefox and iTunes are two of the common ones. There’s little I 
can do about this. If you experience a problem I suggest contacting 
the author of the application in question and ask them whether 
they handle WM_NCHITTEST messages correctly.

Such applications tend to ignore the "show contents when resizing" 
setting as well. They continue to show contents when resizing even 
when the setting is disabled.

Q: Why doesn’t Sizer always resize the window to the size specified?

A: Sizer only asks an application to resize, whether the other 
application responds and does as it’s asked is up to the application. 
Most of the time it will behave correctly but Sizer can’t guarantee 
applications will do as they are asked.

Q: How do I transfer Sizer settings to another machine?

A: Sizer stores its configuration information in the registry under: 
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sizer.

You can use regedit to export this key to a .reg file, copy it another 
machine and double click it to import it. (As an alternative to using 
regedit you can export the configuration to a file by using reg export 
"HKCU\Software\Sizer" sizer.reg at the command line.)
