RuneUI with Chrome's "Add to Homescreen" feature

[ACX]

Since some versions ago Google Chrome has introduced a new interesting feature called "Add to Homescreen", which allows to add an app shortcut icon added to a device's homescreen/desktop for any web resource (website or webapp). The coolest thing is that the browser window launches in real full-screen ("app mode"), working exactly like you would expect from a normal web application / native app. This is great when using RuneAudio UI (RuneUI), and works great on PC but even better on mobile devices, where screen space is precious.



You can find instructions and more details here:

(these are the official instructions for Android devices but they are also valid for the PC browser version)

Wow, that's cool. I did not know this yet.

P.S.: That's also the perfect solution when you want to connect the RuneAudio player to the TV. Install X and just start Chrome in App mode

I have been using this for the last few weeks on my Android, works great

I am using this feature in chrome from the start with v0.3- looks great but in my case chrome sometimes 'drops out'. Although- I can easily get back by touching the icon.

Hi

Maybe it's me, but I can't find instructions to do this on my WIN-PC?
Please help me.

Thanks in advance

Yes, but it is more interesting on a mobile phone because the website is started without browser address bar. Basically it looks like an native app then.
