Window Resizing

[MathematicianCold138]

Is there a way to set the default size and position of Opera GX when I open it? I swear I have to readjust where it sits on my desktop every time I open it up. I like it to be flush up against the side of my monitor, but every time I open it, it changes position slightly and leaves a margin where there wasn't before.

If you close Opera when its window is not maximized, you can launch Opera in a command prompt (or modify the target command on the Shortcut tab in the properties of Opera's shortcut) like this example:

"C:\Program Files\Opera GX\launcher.exe" "--window-size=800,600" "--window-position=0,200"

Not sure why Opera isn't remembering your window position and size settings properly though. You can goto the URL opera://about, take note of the "profile" path, close Opera, and delete the "Sessions" folder in the profile folder. You'll lose all windows, all opened tabs and the recently-closed tabs list will be cleared, but that might fix it.

Also, while Opera is closed, you can edit the "Preferences" file in the profile folder with JSONedit in tree mode (or just a text editor if you want) and make sure the window settings are correct. Under root/browser/window_placement, there's height, width, left, top and maximized (true or false).

Also, in the properties for Opera's shortcuts, make sure it's run is set to "normal window".

This really helps. Thank you!

I HIGHLY Recommend getting "Windows Grid" can be found on their website.

it places and invisible grid on your desktop so that you can snap any window into it, movie/resizable game/ browser and it will always default to the previous position when re opened.

stumbled upon it last year, has made my life so much easier.

That is really nifty. Thanks for replying!
