I suspect many users are happy to sacrifice a bit of stability to get their hands on a bleeding edge version. These versions come with the following caveats: incomplete, see notes in the features section for details what's been done; no installer, only available as a zip package, just unzip all the files and run sizer.exe; may have bugs, hopefully these versions are stable but testing will have been limited; no docs.
25 July 2012: Sizer 3.4 Dev Build 465. Fix bug with system menu resizing in v462. Minor tweaks to system tray resizing.
24 July 2012: Sizer 3.4 Dev Build 462. Fix multi-monitor issues with interactive and system tray sizing. Show hotkey shortcuts in popup menus.
23 July 2012: Sizer 3.4 Dev Build 459. First pass at multi-monitor support. Can select which monitor to move a window to during resizing.
19 July 2012: Sizer 3.4 Dev Build 455. Save configuration settings to file rather than registry.

I posted here a notice about Sizer development resuming -- it is now supposedly portable (untested) and x64 compliant, although only in v3.4 Dev Builds...

This is extremely useful when designing web pages, as it allows you to see how the page will look when viewed at a smaller size. The utility is also handy when compiling screen-shots for documentation, using Sizer allows you to easily maintain the same window size across screen grabs.
Re: Sizer
I just noticed the screenshot of Sizer I posted previously is from the v3.34 (stable, 32 bit only, doesn't support keyboard shortcuts), not the mentioned v3.4 DEVBUILDs -- so here's an updated one:
For the sake of topic completeness, the development builds can be made portable by creating a 'sizer.xml' file in the program folder; download from http://www.brianapps.net/sizer/sizer34.html.

Re: Sizer
Just tried the latest build of Sizer. Midas is right. It's portable by creating a sizer.xml file in the same directory.
Uses about 2.0 MB RAM. Does anyone know of another program that can resize or center windows? Don't mind if it's by command-line.

Re: Sizer
There's also AutoSizer (http://www.southbaypc.com/autosizer/, presumed to be not portable; mentioned by lautrepay at viewtopic.php?p=48643#p48643), my former preference for that...
A topic with a PowerPro beginner's guide would make a valuable entry here at TPFC...tproli wrote:Well, how about PowerPro? [...] Be warned: not for beginners

Re: Sizer
Thanks for the suggestions, guys.
The most important feature for me is centering the windows. I've already looked into AutoSizer and that does not offer that feature.
I'll look into WinSize2 and PowerPro.

Re: Sizer
You could also try Winsplit Revolution.
But I don't understand, why Sizer is not good for this job?

Re: Sizer
I'm probably going to stick with Sizer. It does a good job, but, I'm always looking for alternatives!

Re: Sizer
If auto-centering is your thing, the topic referred above also mentions the even smaller Desklite, which does that on double clicking its window list (check viewtopic.php?p=48798#p48798)...
As for Sizer, I detailed Win+C for window centering -- as seen in the second screen shot above.

Re: Sizer
After a long time, Sizer v4 preview now available. http://www.brianapps.net/sizer4/
What's new in version 4
Better compatibility. Sizer has been completely rewritten to improve compatibility with modern applications including Windows 10 Apps. Sizer 4.0 is less intrusive than previous versions and therefore is more stable. Unfortunately this increased stability comes at a small price, some infrequently used features have been removed as a result. See the more details page for further info.
Hot keys. Sizer actions, including bringing up the main resizing menu, can be assigned to a hot key that can be used at any time. e.g. by default pressing Ctrl+Win+Z brings up the Sizer context menu. This saves you hunting out the window border to right click it.
Macros and expressions. Specify sizes and positions as formula. e.g. 0.7 * w:mon results in a value that is 70% of the width of the current monitor. With macros you can position several windows at the same time allowing you to layout multiple applications the way you want them. Further documentation will follow but in the meantime you can consult the railroad diagrams for details of the syntax.
Menu groups. Simplify and tidy up the Sizer menu by creating cascading menus with groups.
Portable. Run Sizer from a USB pen drive or keep your configurations in one place.
Configuration file management. Export and import settings via the user interface.
