f752d89a | 1 | ## Minimum Window Sizes of Mac Apps |
3c6823f7 RBR |
2 | |
3 | I use tiled window managers, and some layouts work better with smaller windows, but not all mac apps can do that so this is a collection of minimum window sizes of different apps to help me find which ones are better suited for my workflow. | |
4 | ||
5 | I use the following thresholds: | |
6 | ||
7 | * <= 250 = TINY | |
8 | * > 250 and <= 400 = SMALL | |
9 | * > 400 and <= 500 = MEDIUM | |
10 | * > 500 <= 800 = LARGE | |
11 | * > 800 = HUGE | |
