Hi Elad

Is there any way for me to automatically to start the 'app' / 'extension' in fullscreen?

I've tried "chrome.windows.update(windowId, { state: "fullscreen" })" which I can't seem to get to work (as I'm no developer! just a dumb project manager!!!) Is there anyway I can edit the background.js to start the application in fullscreen mode using the Fullscreen API? All I can seem to find is full screen toggled by a user keyboard 'click' is there any way to initiate webkitFullscreenElement without using a user initiated action?

function toggleFullScreen() { if (!document.fullscreenElement) { document.documentElement.requestFullscreen(); } else { if (document.exitFullscreen) { document.exitFullscreen(); } }}

I' tryin yo replicate chrome --start-fullscreen using the app / extension instead as I am deploying to a chromebook.

Kind Regards

Hi @daddins, If you unzip the generated .crx and edit js/embed.js, simply add this code to the top of the file:

// Get current focused window
var currentWindow = chrome.app.window.current();

// Check if currently full screen
if (currentWindow && !currentWindow.isFullscreen()) {
    // Enter full screen mode
    currentWindow.fullscreen();
}

Then, remove the installed .crx from chrome://extensions and load your unpacked, edited extension.

I want to say thank you again - I've implemented the code and it works like a charm - you star!

Suggestion for your next https://applicationize.me/ project !

Same idea: turn your web app/page into a PWA!
