Google Chrome Support

from Stardock Forums

I like the purpose of this app but it simply does not work with google chrome in metro windowed mode. I have restarted my system and it works as soon as I open it, but as soon as I switch to any other application the screen goes gray and I am no longer able to click on anything inside the browser. Not sure if I am doing something wrong or if support for this application is not yet available in beta.

We will take a look into that.

It may be because chrome isn't a true metro application, but it could also be due to a bug as MM is still in beta.

Are you talking about Google Chrome (Desktop app) or Google Search (Modern app)?

i=I'm pretty sure it is a true windows  app, as it can be pinned 1/3 the side, and run along side other metro apps without the desktop interface, it doesn't just pretend to be full-screen or anything..

on a side-note; why not just run chrome in window mode? it has an option under the 3 blue lines (formerly the wrench menu)

Or are there actually some benefits from running it in metro, that your hoping to keep?

None of the "metro" webbrowsers are true Metro apps.  They are allowed to use WinRT and Win32 apis and are officially "Metro style enabled desktop browsers".
