windows.WindowState
The state of this browser window.
Type
Values of this type are strings. Possible values are:
"normal"-
The window is at the default size or user-selected size.
"minimized"-
The window is only visible as an icon in the taskbar.
"maximized"-
The window fills the screen on which it is displayed not including any screen areas reserved by the operating system.
"fullscreen"-
The window is running as a full screen application or content in a tab is using the Fullscreen API
"docked"-
A docked window occupies a fixed position relative to other windows owned by the same application.
macOS compatibility: Beginning in macOS 10.10, the default maximizing behavior for windows changed to run applications as full screen applications instead of "zoomed" windows. fullscreen refers to both the browser running as a full screen application and when content in a tab uses the Fullscreen API.
