I am using the following test setup (Latest meaning as of July 14th 2012):
Core i7 with an ATI FirePro V9800 (Eyefinity)
Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit (latest updates / patches)
Latest Catalyst drivers
Latest Google Chrome Stable / Canary.
6 x 1080p displays (in a row) resulting in a 11520px by 1080px desktop.
I have tried the following to get a fullscreen web view across displays:
Set the maximize to whole desktop setting in the Catalyst control panel. That works for maximizing normal windows (except Chrome), but not for anything fullscreen.
Tried Chrome Kiosk mode (that would be ideal), same problem, only fills up primary display.
Using Chrome Fullscreen or HTML5 fullscreen API results in the same: Fullscreen on a single of the 6 monitors.
IE9 seems to have a limitation of about 10000px for the webview, thus i cannot even stretch it across the entire desktop manually (that works with Chrome).
Tried UltraMon.
Tried a number of Chrome command line switches (http://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/) for kiosk mode, start in fullscreen etc., so right now using the --app="http://127.0.0.1/index.html" switch to at least get rid of most of Chrome's UI elements.
Tried to find an extension for Chrome, but no success.
Tried Chrome Frame in IE9, also only uses one display.
I understand it is most probably a driver issue reporting the wrong desktop size to Chrome (which I thought was the point of the Catalyst Maximize to full desktop size function). Chrome does not seem to get the desktop size from the same place as other "normal" windows do (obviously not very familiar with Windows windowing).
I would like to work on a full-screen Chrome webview across multiple monitors or a completely chromeless window that I can manually maximize. My browser configuration is flexible, even the OS is somewhat flexible.
I would like to know:
Has anyone gotten a fullscreen browser view across more than 1 monitor to work with Chrome (or any browser)?
Are there any tools that can fake the right (full) display size to Chrome?
Could this be workable in Windows 8?
Is there something that just displays a Chromeless Chrome browser that runs the very latest Chrome? (I have seen awesomium, but find that its price is too high for what I want it to do). Also I want to be able to use the most recent Chrome releases ideally.
Any comments welcome and sorry for the lengthy details.
Thanks for reading!

This worked for me using two monitors:
start C:\Users\terminal\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe --app="http://www.domain1.com" --window-position=0,0 --kiosk --user-data-dir=c:/monitor1
start C:\Users\terminal\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe --app="http://www.domain2.com" --window-position=1680,0 --kiosk --user-data-dir=c:/monitor2
I think the order of the parameters is relevant.

I am developing an app with Ionic (1 !) and using ionic serve to test it on Chrome. I'd like to display the iPhone's status bar (battery, time and connection) on Chrome dev tools device mode.
Any knows if Chrome can do this?
I don't think there is a way inside of chrome dev tools. I've tried to find a good solution for a while, it is in their own words only 'for a first approximation'.
You can though, create the device with your specifications, HERE's a more complete list of available devices, where you can also shorten the length to get the size without the space of the status bar (yeah, not useful for the latest gen).
To better QA on mobile devices, maybe try something like Blisk, BrowserStack, Slant...
Or if it's for a screenshot, try something free like responsinator.

I'm trying to test which keyboard type comes up by default for certain inputs on iOS and Android. Is there a way to bring up the on screen keyboard in Chrome devtools phone simulator?
So far I have tested the iOS version of my website by running the xcode simulator and pointing to my website but it would be really convenient to use devtools.
Update: 🙁 Virtual keyboard support is deprecated in Chrome 68+; this answer no longer works.
Original answer
You can view the standard keyboard for the Nexus 5X device for the portrait or landscape view:
However, you can't interact with it, nor does it change based on the context it is called from. I found by inspecting DevTools that it is simply an image file overlayed onto an SVG. There's nothing smart going on with these profiles. It's just useful to look at how the app responds to the reduced space.
To test the proper behaviour of keyboards with context, I would just recommend using XCode and Android emulators, or better still use real devices.

I've got a little problem with my website and ipad/iphones. A certain tag in my css causes problems and I'm unable to check if I've solved the problem. Is there a way to look at my website as if on an ipad while not actually buying an ipad. Is there something like an ipad emulator or something?
You can use web (free) services that provide such functionality. There is a lot of them. For example: http://ipadpeek.com/ or http://mobiletest.me/.
There is also a simple solution that doesn't require any further app installation.
If you're running google Chrome you can enter the developer tools by hitting F12 on a PC and Command+option+I on a Mac.
In the developer tools you have on the top left corner of the screen a mobile device emulator, which you can choose various different models of mobile devices from. not just iPad and iPhone.
Note that you have to refresh the page each time you change a device emulator. Otherwise it won't load with all the characteristics of the current emulation.
Is it possible to make a Chrome window display in kiosk mode on two monitors in Windows 7?
I know this thread is 3 years old but since this is still one of the first results in google search for this topic, I thought it wouldn't hurt to point out that you can accomplish this if you have a normal nVidia gtx card (no need for a Quadro/mosaic), by going to the nVidia control panel, on the left click on Configure surround, physx and then configure in the Configure surround section.
From there you can enable the nVidia surround feature which will make windows believe it has one monitor with a custom resolution (which will be the sum of your multiple monitors res). If you have 3 1920x1080 monitors it will show a single monitor with a resolution of 5760x1080. Once you've done that you just have to enable kiosk mode like always and chrome will open up as expected, with a single ultrawide full-screen window across all the three displays.
Like #Alir user said in that post (How to extend chrome browser to dual display on fullscreen) it could be done with nVidia desktop mosaic feature on Windows.
AMD graphic card users have option to create one monitor too in AMD catalyst center under Multiple monitor option.
Then all you need to do is press F11 in Chrome and display page across all monitors.
I'm running Ubuntu (12.04.1 LTS) using VirtualBox (4.1.14) on a Windows 7 host machine. It seems that, using Chrome (21.0.1180.89), CSS transformations are causing the browser to lock up in a strange fashion.
This can be tested using this page: http://benmurden.com/css3test/css3test.html
In short, it looks like the "content area" of the browser, that is, anything apart from the URL bar, tab list etc. stops rendering during or after a CSS transformation and becomes "stuck" on top of every other open process. I can still close the offending tab or the browser itself since that area of the browser is fully responsive. I can even switch to another process and it will be partially visible under the "stuck" content area on top of it.
I meant to take a screen cap to demonstrate this particular effect but after locking up Chrome in this way and switching to a text editor behind it, only the text editor was fully visible on the screen cap and the locked-up Chrome was nowhere to be seen. This leads me to believe this might be a problem with VirtualBox rather than Chrome itself. Then again, there is someone sitting next to me with a nearly identical setup: Same type of machine running Chrome on Ubuntu using VirtualBox with identical versions of those three and he does not experience this issue.
I am unable to reproduce this on any other browser and host/guest combination I'm currently using. Those are:
Firefox (15.0.1) on Ubuntu
Firefox (15.0.1) on Windows 7
Chrome (21.0.1180.89) on Windows 7
Please let me know if there's any other information I could supply that would be of use.
Thanks!
