Windows has some "snap" features to manage windows on the desktop, but they don't provide any advanced control over their position and size. Maybe in Redmond they think such a feature isn't that important for the end user, but if you disagree, you can now download the open-source tool appsizerGUI, which enables pixel-by-pixel size and position adjustments.
Despite being called "Windows", Microsoft's operating system doesn't let us do much with windows, beyond modifying their size and position "by eye", minimizing/maximizing, or using the snap system. The only way to get precise control over windows is to use additional software. We have previously talked about free tools like auWin, but today we discovered an even simpler and more convenient alternative: appsizerGUI.
How to change the size and position of your windows with appsizerGUI
The program is open source and doesn't require a formal installation: It's enough to download its exe from GitHub and run it from a temporary folder. The main commands in appsizerGUI are four: X axis, Y axis, width, and height. To choose the window to modify, we must use the Select Window option, and then enter the values manually.
The size and position changes can be confirmed by simply pressing Enter, while the Refresh button updates the values if we apply changes outside appsizerGUI. The Center button brings the window to the center of the screen (ideal for taking screenshots), but appsizerGUI also has Save and Remove commands, which save or remove the configuration of a specific window in a local configuration file.
Other details to highlight in appsizerGUI are support for negative numbers in the X and Y axes (something essential on systems with more than one screen), and the -7 pixel calibration enabled by default. Some windows have a margin of 7 pixels, and this option avoids errors when resizing them. appsizerGUI does not exceed 25 kilobytes on disk, and presents a perfect 0/89 result on VirusTotal.
