With AGKS, the window opens to its default size and then resizes to my app size. AGK2 has a file to prevent that. Is there an AGKS equivalent of it?

Have you tried SetWindowSize()? I use this in Studio now that setup.agc no longer works. I also put a GetDeviceBaseName() filter around it so that it is only applied when I run it on a Mac.

Yes, I know what SetWindowSize does. That changes the window size **after** AGKS opens the window to its default size. I no longer have AGKS installed, so I can't check to see exactly what size that is.

In AGK2, this problem does not exist thanks to setup.agc. I am looking for a way to resolve that problem of the **initial** window size in AGKS prior to it reading SetWindowSize.

SetWindowSize doesn't change the window size after it starts and after its set to a defualt size. But I use a Mac so maybe it acts differently on each platform.

I have the window size set to a profile mobile device to quickly test on the laptop.

I have used setup.agc with studio projects and it still works and is read correctly and sets the window size. The initial window size is set as per the values in setup.agc....obviously, any call to SetWindowSize() after the program starts overides the window size in setup and you see the window getting resized after it is created.

That was on windows AGKS 16.4.2020

"I have used setup.agc with studio projects and it still works" Good to know. Thank you!

EDIT: But now I am curious as to why it isn't included when creating new projects. :/

In AGK2, "setup.agc" is a file that contains what is shown in the image in the first post. It is used by the core binary prior to reading any of the program's other source code. This prevents the issue of your program popping up at 1024x768 before switching to the correct resolution. It also used to assign the correct title instead of "AGK" in that initial display but that doesn't seem to work anymore.
