You can resize a window with ``resize-window``, which takes a dimension in
pixels (or on a macOS retina display, they are 2x pixels).
Most of the UI is painted in such a way that when you resize the window, it
proportions in obvious non-squishy ways. It's not really a vector-based UI
where you could distort by resizing.
The UI tools have a "tool-dim" that determines the size of new windows.
For example, in ui.tools.listener:
https://github.com/factor/factor/blob/master/basis/ui/tools/listener/listener.factor#L198
You can have some similar code in your ``.factor-rc`` if you want to
override that.
