jmeter GUI geometry size

LAunching jmeter gui with one monitor works without problems.
With span monitors configuration, jmeter's gui span across two monitors,
with a huge window.
Is it possible via command line to launch the GUI with a specified geometry
size (eg 70% or 600x400)?
Regards

Tx for you suggestion; I use 3 span  full hd monitors with a virtual
desktop of (3x1920) x 1080; jmeter as default uses about of 70% of your
desktop size; simply I don't want a huge centered jmeter window, I'm trying
to start jmeter with a smaller window; some other suggestions?

Michele,

Check jmeter for setting like startup full screen window  (preferred NOT to start up full screen).
If you do not find them it is OK  for *.conf and *.properties *.sh *.cmd *.bat file
Also check the settings if using shortcuts or link startup.

Now check your Monitor configuration.
If you OS display Setup does not support multiple Monitors  you are out of luck.

However if it does  check for a setting like extended desktop.
On windows. NVDIA and/or Monitor adapter settings or whatever you monitor card is.
	assuming you are on a windows system right click you desktop
 
On Linux  the display config can be a bit more tricky as linux/unix system by default supports multiple desktop but not by default multiple displays  
So search for monitor/desktop settings to support more than 1 desktop.
And your monitor display/driver settings to support multiple displays,
Pick the combination you like best.

ADVISE: Do not set geometry in jmeter, jmeter window or the java settings . Always keep the OS monitor settings as default and let jmeter use this 
 it will prevent that when you are hopping connections to a server with RDP, citrix, VNC or VM or ?. your desktop become unreadable (to small, to large, not supported, crash)
Keep in mind that for every hopped connection the session settings must be mapped to your display.  
 So from 600 x 400 to 1600 x 900 to 1280 x1024 does not work  but from 600 x 400 to 1280 x1024 to 1600 x 900 does.

I have run jmeter on windows and linux environments with multiple monitors Shared and separated without any problem other than lack of display memory.
