RE: Application window state and size

Thanks for your explanation. I agree with you about the notes about window size, max width/height and window state.

Regarding to topleft corner position, it may be useless for an app, as you said, the visual effect depends on the desktop window size.

Hi there,

That is fine.

Moreover, if desktop application is taken into consideration. More items should be counted into manifest:

* window size (width, height)

That would be initial I guess, as you probably want to launch the app given the previously used size. That is common behavior on desktop.

* max width and height

Should be optional.

* window state (fullscreen, always on top, maximized, minimized)

Is always on top really honored on all platforms? I guess fullscreen should be default if no initial window size is given.

* top-left corner (x, y position)

There is an issue here as we define sizes and positions in CSS pixel units which might be not the same as the desktop position. Do you have an actual use-case for this? Isn't it enough that the runtime restarts the app as the last used position instead?
