    Chrome as Netflix app in lubuntu

    Hello

    Im on myway setting up a simple tvbox for my personal use.
    Where i will have the following installed:

    Firefox: Browsing
    Plex: Videos
    Spotify: Music
    Chrome; Netflix (Changed Icon to Netflix Icon)

    Now i launch all those applications through the panel in lubuntu/lxde. I want to have chrome to use the --start-fullscreen switch.
    I have searched for any file that i can edit the launch of chrome. But still no luck.

    Edit:
    ~/.local/share/applications or /usr/share/applications
    Exec=xxx --start-fullscreen

    Do you Think it will work? Im at work atm and looking for a solution

    You simply need the command for chrome (google-chrome)? with the command option you show, ie
    Code:
    google-chrome --start-fullscreen
    It works in chromium, so I assume it will also work in Chrome, but I have no way to test it as I don't use Chrome.

    I use Google Chrome on Ubuntu 15.10 and on every screen such as in Netflix or Udemy there is a button in the lower right hand corner to make fullscreen!

    I have now managed to create a new shortcut that start the brower in full screenmode (F11).

    Feels better this way.

    google-chrome --start-fullscreen work wery good.
