If you are talking about IDE windows, yes you can change these values from your General Options�, both Size and Position. If you are talking about New Form Desgners, no, not yet.. though its not a bad idea to add it.. Mattias might have some ideas on this one.

Hi, The lazarus windows tend to be set to rather annoying defaults on startup.

You are right. Plz give suggestions for nice defaults.

Is there a config file somewhere that can control these default sizes ?

Not yet. But I like the idea. Not only for size, but to define custom start values for all simple properties. If for example a user prefers to use flat TSpeedButtons, then it should be possible to define TSpeedButton.Flat=true as default. Some ideas for the frontend:
The OI Popupmenu gets some new items:
- 'Set as start value'
- 'Edit start values'

In the 'Edit components start values' dialog, all overriden start values are shown and can be edited.
