Open a browser on startup?

Hi guys,

I'm trying to make a project which displays a web page on boot up. At this point I've successfully gotten Netsurf to launch on boot up, but I want it to be full screen, like nothing but the actual web page visible. Do you know of any browser that would be capable of that?

Really appreciate your help!

You should be able to control it by declaring the geometry in the file that starts it.

You will put in the pixels for your monitor, I am guessing if your monitor is 800x600, you might try:

netsurf --geometry 800x600+0+0

The 0's at the end are for page offset if you have some sort of top or side panel. If you want to have a bottom tray, then decrease the 600 to whatever works.

Minimal Kiosk Browser (hence the name ...). Check the manual for details ...
