I would like to use DOSbox discretely. Is there a way to adjust the size of windowed mode?

Maybe. Somewhere in your DOSBox directory, there is a dosbox.conf file. Edit it with Notepad, and change windowsize to something else. E.g. windowsize=200x150.

If it's about some standard 256colour vga mode game, then try
"scaler none forced". Either type that or see the respective entry
in dosbox.conf
Try duke3d to check if it worked (textmode is not affected).

Bingo! Now I have a teeny tiny Ultima IV running.

Just as a note: we don't support that 😉

Anyways, this works only for a number of graphics modes, it's not a
general solution. MiniMax's suggestion (along with output= changing
and maybe scaler fiddling) might work better.
