It respects both width and height 
my $ds = $mw->DirSelect(qw/
-width 333333
-height 666666
-background red
/);

Re^4: Setting size of Tk chooseDirectory

    I tried your code. On my system, Active State 5.20.2, the -height has no effect whatsoever. However, width and background do as the documentation for version 1.03 says. Perhaps you have a more recent version? I just used what was in the ppm archive for my Perl version.

    Update: I looked on CPAN, latest is version 1.11 - that is probably the difference. But at the end of the day, we have something that is "ugly" on Windows. Don't know the OP's O/S, but that could be a consideration.

      Um, 1.03 was over ten years ago, its a pure perl module

      You can still $ds->geometry('6666x6666+0+0');

        I tested that with DirSelect version 1.03 and it works. Ok, is there any way to do something similar with chooseDirectory which would look a lot nicer on Windows?
