Using Web Content

Support for HTML5 content and web apps is built into isotope in the form of a customized browser (or "web view") based on the ubiquitous Chromium engine. Web views support all modern web-based technologies such as media, WebGL and WebRTC.

The easiest way to integrate web content into your project is to use the webview helper function when defining processes in your profile script.

Web views can be used as a transparent overlay with other content underneath. When using transparent web content, make sure that you do not have an opaque background in your CSS styles.

Example: A transparent web page

html
<html>
    <head>
        <style>
            html, body {
                background: transparent;
                color: white;
            }
        </style>
    <body>
        <h1>Hello, World!</h1>
    </body>
</html>
<html>
    <head>
        <style>
            html, body {
                background: transparent;
                color: white;
            }
        </style>
    <body>
        <h1>Hello, World!</h1>
    </body>
</html>
