Force All Windows To Open At A Set Resolution ('width x height' pixels)

Question

Is it possible to force all application windows to open at a specific resolution (i.e. a set specific size like 1280x720 pixels)?

Answer 1

Yes, though it doesn't work very well.

• Install ccsm, sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager (note ccsm is pretty buggy).
• Start ccsm, go to the window management section
• Enable "Window Rules"
• In the options for "Window Rules", choose the "Size rules" tab
• Click new, then the +
• Choose your window (by class is usually best but it takes some experementing)
• Set your width and height.
• Apply everything and enjoy your fixed window heights.
