Resizing Windows to a Specific Size on macOS - Scott's Weblog - The weblog of an IT pro focusing on cloud computing, Kubernetes, Linux, containers, and networking
I recently had a need (OK, maybe more a desire than a need) to set my browser window(s) on macOS to a specific size, like 1920x1080. I initially started looking at one of the many macOS window managers, but after reading lots of reviews and descriptions and still being unclear if any of these products did what I wanted, I decided to step back to using AppleScript to accomplish what I was seeking. In this post, I’ll share the solution (and the articles that helped me arrive at the solution).
Today I learned you can use AppleScript to resize windows to a specific size. Simpler than I imagined if you can figure out what the positional params map to.
tell application "Firefox Nightly"
set bounds of front window to {110, 120, 1310, 1020}
end tell
