Hi,
I know that there is a default size that cmd has in pixels), but is it possible to change the size from a batch file or command line?
In taking a guess, I think it would be something like this:

Code: Select all

set "%size%=(randomnumberthatyouchoose)

Am I right? Or is there another way that works?
Regards,
Rileyh

'

Code: Select all

@echo off
mode con cols=100 lines=50
mode /?
pause
exit /b 0

Warning, fixed height removes scrollbars !

If you wan't some more power over windows there is an external tool called CMDOW.EXE
You can download it from my account :arrow:

don't know if it would apply for what you're trying to do, but I learned a few years back an easy way of applying attributes like
size, position, color etc, was just to launch a batch from a shortcut, just change them in the layout tab you can also launch additional CMD windows from within a batch just using the START command

START C:\batchfile.bat.lnk

shortcuts by default will have a .lnk extension
