WinJS window size

I'm building a small WinJS app just for Windows but can't seem to figure out how to set the size of the window at launch. There is obviously some preset size but I can't seem to resize it using CSS or trying to set the window's size directly.

How do you do it?

It seems this is due to Microsoft wanting all apps in the Universal app eco-system to use responsive design. I was trying to set an initial screen/window size which doesn't really follow that pattern. If this had been for use on a phone or tablet that would make perfect sense, but the intended target was the desktop so I had hoped to circumvent that design.

I've decided the best course of action is to simply add a div with the correct dimensions and then resize the window (by hand/mouse) to fit around the area of the div since this is just for a personal use project.

You can call this API:

var view = Windows.UI.ViewManagement.ApplicationView.getForCurrentView();
view.tryResizeView({ height: 500, width: 500 });
Windows.UI.ViewManagement.ApplicationView.preferredLaunchWindowingMode = Windows.UI.ViewManagement.ApplicationViewWindowingMode.preferredLaunchViewSize;
Windows.UI.ViewManagement.ApplicationView.preferredLaunchViewSize.height = 500;
Windows.UI.ViewManagement.ApplicationView.preferredLaunchViewSize.width = 500;
