'''toolkit.defaultChromeURI''' is a preferences which allows a simple XULRunner-based application to open a new window
The '''pref''' function needs to be passed in two arguements. In this scenario, this document provided an explaination on what those two arguements are::*'''toolkit.defaultChromeURI''' is a preferences which allows a simple XULRunner-based application to open a new window:*'''"chrome://myapp/content/main.xul"''' is the location of the main XUL file.
== Creating some XUL ==
For the similicity of this application, we're going to create a simple XUL window that says hello world.
<pre>
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="chrome://global/skin/" type="text/css"?>
 
<window id="main" title="My App" width="300" height="300"
xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul">
<caption label="Hello World"/>
</window>
</pre>
== Running the application ==
To run the application, type the following:
If your on Windows:
xulrunner.exe application.ini
 
If your on Linux:
xulrunner application.ini
 
If your on Mac:
/Library/Frameworks/XUL.framework/xulrunner-bin application.ini
 
Make sure your in the application level of the XULRunner application.
