Hi John,
I haven’t done this myself, but I suppose you could create a Livecode plugin that runs the needed code:
https://livecode.fandom.com/wiki/Creating_a_livecode_plugin
which is basically a LC stack that lives in your local plugins folder. Under the IDE Development menu are plugin settings, which includes an option, “Open plugin when: ‘LiveCode starts up.’” The plugin stack would have an openStack handler that calls the sizing handler.
Or, you could have a script internal to your project that checks the environment property so it runs only when in the IDE.
You might want to have a failsafe in case you have to run LC on a smaller monitor that would check the size of the monitor—the screenRect property—then size down the IDE elements appropriately.
