Yes it will. Note however that doing gui.geometry("+300+100") will actually move 
the window, not resize it. To resize the window, use gui.geometry("300x100")

More generally, the syntax for the geometry is "WxH+X+Y" where W and H are the 
window's width and height resp. and X & Y the coordinates of its top-left corner 
from the top-left corner of the screen.
