Specify size and position from command line

Post by sprange » Sat Apr 22, 2017 11:05 am

I have several 21:9 monitors and it would be great if I could have OD launch at defined locations and dimensions without it taking up the entire screen. Is this possible? Thanks!

There is not a way to do this currently. Feature Request 478 is similar to what you are asking. If you think that would work for you, you can add your votes to that feature.

Several of our techs here at HQ use a 3rd party application that somehow remembers where and how you like your windows. I don't know what it is called but you might do a quick Google search for such an application.
The best thing about a boolean is even if you are wrong, you are only off by a bit.

Probably something along the lines of "windows applications remember position".
Either position or location.
