If you’ve used Flutter before, you’ve seen the errors that happen when a widget overflows. This displays errors on the screen that will confuse the user. Since the user can change the size of the window that desktop apps are run on, this can cause display errors. You can prevent some of these errors by preventing the user from making the window too small.
Android Studio
Open up the starter project. In the project window, open up pubspec.yaml. After the path_provider package, add desktop_window: ^0.4.0. This will add the desktop_window plugin. Hit Pub get to download the plugin.
if (Platform.isWindows || Platform.isLinux || Platform.isMacOS) {
await DesktopWindow.setWindowSize(const Size(700,500));
await DesktopWindow.setMinWindowSize(const Size(700,500));
await DesktopWindow.setMaxWindowSize(Size.infinite);
}
