      Chromium indeed remembers the size when I reopen it after increasing the window size, and also the kiosk mode of chromium opens in this size. Unfurtunately the MM still opens in its original size.

      Is it maybe possible to start up the MM in the non-kiosk mode, then adjust the size/position and turn it back into kiosk?

        @jthewarrior7 sure, edit the run-start.sh and remove ‘-kiosk’ from the parameters

         chromium-browser -noerrdialogs -kiosk -start_maximized  --disable-infobars --app=http://localhost:$port  --ignore-certificate-errors-spki-list --ignore-ssl-errors --ignore-certificate-errors 2>/dev/null
        

        hm… looking thru the flags supported, it says all need double dash in front… so, add a dash to -maximized
        and -kiosk

          @jthewarrior7 u can also try adding the window-size parm.

          --window-size ⊗	Sets the initial window size. Provided as string in the format "800,600".

                  The --start-maximized but also the --window-size does not seem to have any effect. I tried them both when opening a new chromium window via the console (chromium-browser --start-maximized, but the chromium still launches at its previously closed size and position.

                      start fullscreen removes the top bar etc. but strangely enough the size of the chromium window does not go to fullscreen.
