It expects fixed 600 or proportion 0.75 - maybe not the most intuitive though, could use some work

ahh i see, kind of expected it to just take whatever numbers i gave it as a easier method for setting window sizes for my apps (i use float on all windows) rather than editing cfg myself everytime for a new app so i guess its not really a bug, more so i expected more lol
