Hi,

I'm writing a text editor chrome app, and the address bar is really
useless and messing up the experience.
Is there a way to programmatically hide the address bar for chrome
apps.?

Asbjørn,
You can make your app launch in a panel window by setting
app.launch.container="panel" in your app's manifest.json . See the
manifest documentation for details:

Panels only work on Chrome OS, correct? Are there even any plans to support panels on other OSes?

Actually, in Windows(I don't know about Mac, but I think Linux is not yet supported I think) panels are already working very well on the Lastest Chromium builds.

Well thats pretty cool! Awesome :) Thanks a lot Sam (and you other
guys too)!

Only thing now is that I was originally planning on using regular tabs
for the different open files in my editor. But no biggie, I can just
as easily make my own "tabs" within the panel. Looks much better
now...
