Hi, Can anyone share what's the view, doc link for Chrome dev in Metro style app. I would like to understand how Chrome to achieve metro style in Windows 8. Since a lot of Win32 API cannot be used, then how metro style is achieved. I suspect it's not pure metro even for x86.
One question is why register as default browser can make it Metro style?

Hi Gab, Thanks much for reply. Internally in this community there is no document/guideline for developer to follow to contribute to metro Chrome? Wow, this is going to be very hard to let all developers to understand the big picture.

Well the first thing you'll want to do is register your developer build and
make it default browser so it can launch in Metro.
You can do so by building chrome and setup (i.e. ninja -C out\Debug chrome
setup) and running out\Debug\setup.exe --register-dev-chrome (FYI this will
take over any user-level Chromium you currently have on your system; not
sure about system-level Chromium, but I'd recommend uninstalling any
existing Chromium first to be safe -- Google Chrome itself should be
independent however).
From there you can step in a debugger to see what's going on, in particular
have a look at the source under src/win8/.
