How to set browser window size larger than the screen resolution in Windows XP?

I would li开发者_如何学运维ke to set browser size (mainly width) larger than the screen resolution in Windows XP. It looks like there is no easy way of dragging the browser window and resizing it. It resizes to maximum width and height of the actual screen, but no larger.

I need to check and test some webpages on large screens, but I have only a small notebook of my own. Is there a way how to accomplish a larger browser window? Preferrably in Chrome, but any browser in Windows will do.

This problem can be solved in two ways: -

1. Universal browser solution

1. Create a dummy html page
2. Add an iframe to its body with the width and height attributes set to the desired dimension
3. Set the iframe's src attribute to the page you want to test

2. Individual browser's developer tools

Chrome

1. Open the developer tools using Ctrl + Shift + i
2. Click the second button top left that looks like a mobile phone
3. Drag the width to the desired width and refresh the page (F5)

Internet Explorer

1. Press F12
2. Go to the emulation tab
3. Change the resolution dropdown to the desired resolution
4. Reduce the height of the developer tools bar until the horizontal scrollbars appear

Firefox

1. Open the developer tools using Ctrl + Shift + i
2. Press the third icon in the icons on the top right of the developer tools called "Responsive Design Mode"
3. Choose the resolution in the top left dropdown selector on the top left of the webpage viewport.

I am testing another resolution by zoom out - every browser supports ctrl + and ctrl -

This is possible. First 'restore' (i.e. unmaximize) the window. Then you can simply adjust the width and height of the browser by using the edges of that particular window as you like. This applies to any browser and application windows including google-chrome.

It seems like this doesn't work for every user. There's a tool called uuspy to do this as suggested in here. I haven't try on how to do this. But, since the ui of uuspy looks not that user-friendly here's quick tip. Open uuspy. There, in the main window, you'll see a search box. Type the first few letters of the current 'title' of the browser there (like 'test - Google Search'), and then click refresh. It'll show a list of windows and child-windows of processes containing the searched partial title in the title-bar. Click on the relevant one (the root/parent is the one most likely.) Then, click GetInfo. There's two text panes there. On the left pane, there's WS_THICKFRAME. unselect it and then click setStyle. That will freeze the resizing. I think you'll have to read the original SO answer to know exactly what needs to be done.

simple! "restore" the window to any size, drag the window so that bottom/left corner is off-screen, then resize using top and right sides to make the window ever bigger. if you need it even bigger, just drag the window again so that bottom/left corner is even further off screen.

I managed to resize the Chrome window using ScreenSpace from dandeware.com (no affiliation). There's a free lite version as well as a paid version.

After you install Screenspace, select the Chrome window and press Ctrl-Alt-R. The software then shows a virtual window and lets you resize the Chrome window in any direction beyond the virtual window. Click on the green checkmark and the Chrome window will have the same size on your physical screen.

You can change zoom of the browser or do something like this:

var desiredWidth = 1368;
document.querySelector('html').style.width = desiredWidth+'px';

In Firefox Responsive Design Mode

Menu -> Developer -> Responsive Design Mode (Ctrl-Shift-M)

gives you a drop-down to select the window size.

Here's another solution. Under Linux you can freely resize the windows without any hindrance. It also has Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome, and are almost equal in functionality to the Windows versions more or less. So, my suggestion is try this with a Linux flavor such as Ubuntu or Linux Mint. May be you can try this via the LiveCD as well. That way, you don't have to worry about installing a new OS! I can help with that if you need.

And, I found this handy bookmarklet that resizes the browser to standard screen sizes such as 800x600 etc.

if you have a dual moniter setup and set the resolution higher on one, then you can drag the size of the window on the smaller screen to the size of the larger so it will get bigger than the smaller screen -this is haw i do it with windows 7
