Hi Eric,

I see. For ease of windows management, I have most of my tools docked. However, resizing the monolithic window often results in changes to the sizes of tool/button panels as ChimeraX maintains their relative proportions. 

I was wondering if I could put together a set of alias-ed presets that would resize and arrange these elements to match the common viewport sizes I tend to use, e.g. to pair better with different monitor setups, or for ease of returning to a set state having resized away for whatever reason. I've just been tweaking my presets for (old) COOT and was inspired to see if I could do the same with my ChimeraX setup.

No worries if no such mechanism exists. I can well appreciate the complexity involved in refactoring.

Cheers,
Yang

Hi Yang,
        No, there is no command for setting tool window sizes.  What is the use case would be where you would want a command for it?  Also, a single tool can have multiple windows open, so I’m not even sure how you would refer to a particular window in a command.
