Interesting. I tested this (Xubuntu with Xfce in a VM, plain ImageJ 1.52a),
and found the window could not be resized; the window moves instead of
resizing when grabbing an edge. Whereas with Fiji (with ImageJ 2.0.0-rc-69
/ 1.52i) I am able to resize by grabbing the window edges. Launching that
same Fiji installation with the "--ij1" option also results in an ImageJ
window that cannot be resized for me.
The following JavaScript code will resize the main window directly:
importClass(Packages.ij.IJ)
importClass(Packages.java.awt.Dimension)
IJ.getInstance().setSize(new Dimension(850, 350))
You can run it with Plugins > New > Javascript, or the Script Editor, or
Script Interpreter, or whatever code execution method you like.
I am not able to reproduce your HiDPI issue on my Ubuntu Linux VM, but that
might be due to VirtualBox's display handling—I don't think my Linux
desktop considers itself to be running in a HiDPI environment within
VirtualBox.
Regards,
Curtis
