I need to do a script that execute about 9 chromium browsers in kiosk mode with 9 different graphics to be monitored.

I'm trying to execute the following command line (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS):

chromium-browser --app={link} --window-size=x,y --window-position=x,y --kiosk

When it is executed without --kiosk parameter the window-size and window-position works fine, but when I try to execute with --kiosk it runs in full screen.

I tried to change the position of --kiosk and the window parameters but it not worked too. I also tryed to change in ".../chromium/Default/Preferences" the window_placement and app_window_placement maximized property to false instead true [Default].

My question is, is there some way to run chromium in --kiosk mode with my options of window size and position?

Thank you for your help.

  • This is an old question, anyway, "kiosk mode" means maximized (= to be run as a TV inside a kiosk). What you want is something else, similar to kiosk mode, i.e. without title bar and tabs bar – luca.vercelli Nov 07 '19 at 14:17
  • @luca.vercelli, do you have an example of that "something else"? – mb3_48900 May 19 '22 at 15:29

  • That would not work with "--kiosk" option. window size and window-position are both ignored. – mb3_48900 May 19 '22 at 15:26
  • @mb3_48900 `--kiosk` with `--window-size` and `--window-position` works for me. I'm guessing there has been an update in the last year. – nullromo May 31 '23 at 18:58
