Hi all - just found Cool Retro Term - awesome program and a worthy and fun companion to the usual MATE Terminal for me on my machines.
That being said, Cool-Retro-Term seems to ALWAYS open in a large window. I would prefer it open in a window exactly the same size as my usual MATE Terminal window (which I, of course, have adjusted to the size I like).
Is there a command line option for launchers to let me specifically set the height and width of a window as a program opens?
I saw a forum post elsewhere that suggested something like:
cool-retro-term --geometry=21x82
Would do the trick, but that seems to have no effect! Thanks for any help!

Re: Command line option to specify window size on program launch?
Answered my own question! Some more furious (as in a lot, not as in angry ) Googling brought me to the answer I required!
For those interested, this is the command I used:
This set the window to automatically appear at a width of 658 and height of 435 pixels to match my MATE Terminal window. Hope this helps others who may be interested! I believe there is also a way to set where the window appears on screen as well, but I wasn't worried about it!
This is the source I used and contains further information on the command:
