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!
