Hi Jay,

When in onscreen mode the view size is ignored. This is because the view is 
placed
into the original user interface, the geometry and size of which end up 
determining
the view size. A work around for now might be to change window size so the 
dimensions 
are close to what you want and the resize the captured image in the script.

I will look into popping out the view (like we do in full screen mode), setting 
its size
and then capturing the image.
