Old: Window shape API
New: Window Shape API - summary:
Old: Window Shape API enables allowlisted [Isolated Web Apps](https://chromeos.dev/en/web/isolated-web-apps) on ChromeOS to customize their window shape. By enabling non-rectangular and non-contiguous window layouts, developers can implement unique user experiences (such as widgets, floating panels, and overlays) that match the look-and-feel of native applications. The API `window.chromeos.isolatedWebApp.setShape` requires the window to be in _unframed display mode_ and requires the window-management permission to be granted. Administrators can manage this feature with existing policies for window management: - [DefaultWindowManagementSetting](https://chromeenterprise.google/policies/#DefaultWindowManagementSetting) configures the default state for the window management for all apps. The policies below can override this default. - [WindowManagementAllowedForUrls](https://chromeenterprise.google/policies/#WindowManagementAllowedForUrls) allows IWAs with specified origins to enter unframed mode and set custom window shapes without any user interaction. - [WindowManagementBlockedForUrls](https://chromeenterprise.google/policies/#WindowManagementBlockedForUrls) blocks the permission for specified origins, forcing Chrome to remove any custom window shapes and fallback to other available display modes.
