Defining an initial start size for an RCP Application

[andrew-tram]

Is there a way to customize the starting size of an RCP application? I'm guessing the starting size is defined here:

eclipse.platform/platform/org.eclipse.platform/LegacyIDE.e4xmi

Line 3 in a97efae

<children xsi:type="basic:TrimmedWindow" xmi:id="IDEWindow" elementId="IDEWindow" label="%trimmedwindow.label.eclipseSDK" width="1024" height="768">

With monitors and screens trending past 1080p, it'd be interesting to mess with default values to see how it looks.

It depends on what you mean by customize, if you are defining an own Application model then you can of course just use other values for your window(s). If you are using the legacy application mode or want to be more flexible, you can define an Addon that change that size (e.g. depending on the monitor size).

If you writing a plugin for an existing application (like Eclipse IDE) just be aware that the user might not be happy if you just override things or it might conflict with others
