# Description of the new feature/enhancement
Adjust default styling of Quake Window

Unless I'm missing something, there is no documented way to adjust the styling of the drop-down Quake window. For example, I would like my Quake dropdown window to take up 80% of screen height by default, not just 50%. Even if I resize the quake window from 50% to a different size, after I close the window and re-open it via the Hotkey it will resize back to the default of 50%.

If there is currently a way to do this, I'd love to know. Thanks!

Research direction

The issue does not identify a source file, test, or entry point. Start by locating the Quake window implementation and its default height handling, then check how reopening the window restores its size. Done means the default height can support the requested behavior and reopening does not unexpectedly reset a user’s chosen size.
