Hi Curtis, Wayne, Gabriel
This is interesting. Due to the fact that I have some additional items in the menu bar (BAR and ThreeDViewer) I have to resize my GUI every time when I restart Fiji. This script could do it automatically. So I have saved it as a *.js file in the macro folder and added a line to the Edit > Options > Startup.. to do this.
In my case the code is: runMacro("Z:\\program files\\Fiji.app\\macros\\Startup_resize.js");
It works if I add it and close the Startup menu. It executes the code in this window and the GUI is resized. However, if I restart Fiji, it does not resize the GUI and there is no error message. If I go back to the Startup.. menu window, make a change (extra return) and close this menu it execute this again and runs the script correctly. So it seems to work, but fails at startup .
Best wishes

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
