I have DOSbox-0.74-3 on my dekstop (Windows 10, 20 inch screen, 1920x1080 pixels.)
Also just installed it on a new portable too (Windows 11, 14 inch screen, 1920x1200).

When starting, 2 windows appear:
1. "Dosbox Status Window"
2. "DOSbox-0.74-3, CPU speed 3000 cycles, Frameskip 0, ..."

(I can resize the window 1 by right-clicking the upper bar and choose Change format)

Window 2 only allows me to minimize it (putting it on the Windows toolbar)
Window 2 is too small, on my portable (hard to read!) I would like it to be 50% larger (height & width)
Switching to Full-screen is not what I want since it hides everything else on the screen.

I looked into the DOSbox 0.74-3 Options file, but can't figure out how to.
How can I enlarge the second window ?

Also, on my desktop PC I can drag window 2 to a different place on the screen, but on my portable I can't.
How to fix that ?

Unfortunately, this does not change the window size whatever value is specified
I tried 800x600, 1280x960, and even 320x240
It seems to keep using a resolution of 640x480 pixels (640 is exactly 1/3rd of my screen width of 1920 pixels)

Look for the line windowresolution=
And read the text in the config file which explains the options.
