its quite simple, 1. start chromium 2. goto preferences 3. goto personal stuff 4. in appearance choose use GTK-theme or "use system title bar and borders". 5. thats it that will make chromium start with system borders that are managed by wmii, so browser will not start in a floating window.

thanks a lot, that is better, cause my wmiirc_local is empty) I use xbindkeys for hotkeying - didn't want to mess with my wmii scattered-all-over-the-place files. I'll try it out.

Thanks! That works like a charm - it's always the simple things... Out of curiosity, what is it about that setting that causes wmii to make it float initially? It seems as though wmii ignores the "Hide system title bar and use compact borders" setting and surrounds it with the wmii border regardle
