I'd like to develope web apps and distribute an installer with a chromeless window to the end user.
As I understand it, this is exactly what prism gives me, however I would like to use a webkit based browser, namely Google Chrome. However, I do not want to simply install shortcuts with parameters and then bundle the full Google Chrome browser in an installer. This would invoke the wrath of network admins etc, and complicate the process.
Is it possible to have a self contained app that comes with Google Chromes innards and relies on a website/app for its UI/functionality? Or am I forced to bundle Chrome with my installer?
ps: Building the & modifying Chromium project/source is not an option ps2: Extra points if you can hide the title bar for customising the entire window

Chromeless is a free and open-source Mac app which lets you create Chromium-based, Firefox-based or WebKit-based apps (also known as site-specific browsers) from any websites.
Install and uninstall appsGo to the Chrome Web Store. Find and select the app you want. Click Add to Chrome, or if it's a paid app, click Buy.
The Apps page in Chrome can be accessed using the Apps shortcut on the Bookmarks bar. If you don't see the Apps icon, you need to show it. To do this, right-click on the Bookmarks bar and select “Show apps shortcut” from the popup menu.
Chrome Apps can integrate seamlessly into the desktop and look more like desktop applications than traditional web apps. Chrome Apps for Desktop have no omnibox (address bar) and tab strip like normal browser-based apps, because like native desktop apps, they don't live in a browser.
Sounds like you're looking for something like Awesomium which does the grunt embedding work for you. Or Berkelium if you want a free variant.
