Fields

Default 0

The app does not have a window size preference specified. Windows, rather than the app, sets the size preference, which defaults to UseHalf.

The window uses 50% (half) of the available horizontal screen pixels.
UseLess 1

The window uses less than 50% of the available horizontal screen pixels.
UseMinimum 4

The window uses the minimum horizontal pixel width (either 320 or 500 pixels) specifies in the app's manifest (such as package.appxmanifest).
UseMore 3

The window uses more than 50% of the available horizontal screen pixels.
UseNone 5

The window has no visible component.

Remarks

An "app view" is the displayed portion of a UWP app, and which can be variably sized by the user. A user's screen can have up to 4 app views of variable width displayed simultaneously, with a combined horizontal pixel width equal to that of the display device's horizontal resolution.

Custom view sizes

Set the ViewModePreferences.ViewSizePreference property value to Custom when you set the ViewModePreferences.CustomSize property.
