Meet the latest additions to Equo Chromium, designed to bring a more native, flexible experience to embedded browsers across toolkits.

Versions 128 and 138 introduce new window management APIs for controlling full-screen mode, window titles, and custom icons — enabling deeper system integration without complex native code.

Brief Context

Applications built with SWT, Swing, or Standalone Java UIs often need tighter integration with the underlying operating system — for instance, controlling window states or customizing the look and feel.

These new APIs simplify that process by providing a unified, modern interface for window management across platforms.

Fullscreen Support

Give your users a distraction-free experience with true full-screen mode. Perfect for dashboards, media players, data visualizations, or any application that deserves the entire screen.

Fullscreen mode now works seamlessly across all toolkits — SWT, Swing, and Standalone — and all operating systems with smooth transitions and complete control.

browser.setFullscreen(true);   // Enter fullscreen    

browser.setFullscreen(false);  // Exit fullscreen  

browser.toggleFullscreen();    // Toggle dynamically   

Whether triggered from your UI or via JavaScript’s requestFullscreen(), your application stays perfectly in sync with web content.

Custom Window Title (Standalone Only)

Custom Window Titles — Clear and Polished

Add a personalized touch to your Standalone windows with your own window titles.

Define them directly when creating the browser — ideal for branding, product names, or dynamic context like “Dashboard” or “Settings.”

ChromiumBrowser browser =
  ChromiumBrowser.standalone("https://example.com", "Analytics Dashboard", new Rectangle(100,100,800,600));

You can also update the title dynamically at runtime — perfect for applications that change their state or context:

browser.setWindowTitle("Dynamic title");

A simple change that instantly elevates the look and professionalism of your application.

Window Icon Customization (Windows + Standalone Only)

Your application deserves its own presence in the OS.

Now Standalone windows on Windows can display a custom .ico file, giving your product a visual identity across the taskbar, Alt-Tab view, and title bar.

browser.setWindowIcon("C:\\icons\\brand_logo.ico");

Windows automatically adjusts the icon to fit both small and large display contexts — ensuring crisp, native visuals everywhere.
