AppleScript FAQ: How can I size or resize an application window using AppleScript?
To resize an application window with AppleScript, use a command like this:
tell application "Safari" set bounds of front window to {300, 30, 1200, 900} end tell
That command tells the Safari browser to have the following size and location properties:
- x = 300
- y = 30
- width = 1200
- height = 900
When using this command, x
and y
correspond to the desired location of the application window, and those values represent where you want the upper-left corner of the window to be located.
I just used that code in a little script, and I can confirm that it works properly.
