Is there a way to set the max size of new VIs?

(Sorry, not a new problem, but I need to vent! 😄 )

Using a QHD monitor (2560x1440), any new VI is just way too big (FP and BD)! It seems the formula is ~2/3 of the available screen space (i.e. 1519x942 in my case). This is too much!!! Most of my VIs are smaller, cleaner and modular and it is annoying if every new VI covers most of the monitor with whitespace, obscuring all the other VIs I have open. My code is typically less than a postcard! While the default sizing at ~60-65% makes sense for 1920x1080 or less, it should be capped at that.

Try the windowSize INI token. It's not perfect, and maybe you can figure out its idiosyncrasies better than I did, but I found that if I added the following INI token:

windowSize="0,0,400,600"

...then all new VIs have a panel and diagram window size of 602x434. 😛

P.S. - When using this token, new VIs are still tiled properly, which is why I think it's just the size of the rect that matters, i.e. the left/top aren't used for positioning.
