31.41 Flutter Linux Desktop Size
20210321
See Section 31.34 to set the window size of a desktop application through the window_manager package.
Alternatively we observe that the flutter Linux native desktop application
utilises GTK with a template application located in
linux/my_application.cc
. There we find the default desktop window
size which is set to be 1280 by 720 around line 51.
51 gtk_window_set_default_size(window, 1280, 720);
To reduce the default window width and height on startup to have dimensions more like a mobile app, we can change the settings here:
perl -pi.bak -e 's|1280, 720|450, 700|' linux/my_application.cc
The appropriate line in the file will be updated:
51 gtk_window_set_default_size(window, 450, 700);
