Hey 😄

maybe cmdow can help you.
I am using this additional cmd tool to resize, activate, hide and arrange windows of any application on win10.

in Sikuli IDE i am using

align_window = """
powershell
cmdow "WINDOWNAME" /MOV 0 0 /SIZ 400 742
"""
returnCode = runScript(align_window)

greetings

2.0.6 will have
app = App.withPID(pid)

if valid, then app can be used normally.

Due to private priorities the final 2.0.6 will only be available towards end of the year.

Until then you have to try with the snapshots: https://github.com/RaiMan/SikuliX1
