New developer tool - Set window size

So while investigating how Forge would look at lower resolutions, I decided that, rather than having to mess with my computers actual resolution or having to manually resize the window and either guess or use screen capture to measure the window, it'd be much easier to just add a tool to set the window size.

As a result, I added a new button to the Dev Mode pane titled "Set window size". Clicking it will bring up a prompt which offers the choice of three common resolutions on the low end of the resolutions we officially support.

I hope this tool will prove useful for testing layout changes or new screens/panes so we can avoid releasing anything that looks bad or is unusable at 800x600, or especially at 1024x768 (which is often used as a baseline when designing web sites in terms of how wide to make the site).

Good idea, that can be useful.

I would also much appreciate an ability to preserve window size and position between launches.

That was actually next up on my list. I was already planning on working on that in the next day or so.

Just committed support for remembering window size and position between sessions in r22830.

Quick update. As of r23016, this feature as been moved to the Layout menu and is thus available from all screens, even when not in Developer mode.
