Apollo Custom Chromes

I’ve been playing around with the Apollo public alpha for a few hours now. One thing I was looking for, was creating those cool custom chromed applications, so you aren’t stuck to those rectangular windows.

Tout court, this is how I did it:

1. Create your Apollo application :-)
2. Adjust your application xml, so it has systemChrome=”none” and transparent=”true”
3. Add some style to your application mxml:

ApolloApplication
{
background-color:”";
background-image:”";
padding: 0px;
show-flex-chrome:”";
}
And magic: The application borders are gone!
