Question:

I’m experimenting with a JavaScript application for Windows store.
So far, everything works perfectly.

I wrote a little application that removes line numbers from source code that starts with line numbers 😉

However, I do not find it useful that this app is forced to fullscreen mode.
This is against the concept of multitasking, since I expect this app to be used on the desktop while programming and wanting to copy-paste something from the internet, and not on an average tablet.

Is there any way to create a windows store application that is non-fullscreen ?

window.resizeTo( 640, 480 );

certainly isn’t working.

    With a very specific exception, you cannot control the size of your app. There is no way to do what you are trying to do. Only the user can control the size of your app, and they have specific, limited things that they can do (snapping, rotation, and moving to other monitors).

    If your app is snapped—that is, if it’s docked to the left or right side of the screen—you can request to unsnap. You can’t programmatically snap yourself to either side; you can only ask to unsnap yourself to take over the full screen.
