cef_runtime_style_t

enum cef_runtime_style_t

CEF supports both a Chrome runtime style (based on the Chrome UI layer) and an Alloy runtime style (based on the Chromium content layer).

Chrome style provides the full Chrome UI and browser functionality whereas Alloy style provides less default browser functionality but adds additional client callbacks and support for windowless (off-screen) rendering. The style type is individually configured for each window/browser at creation time and different styles can be mixed during runtime. For additional comparative details on runtime styles see https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/wiki/Architecture.md#markdown-header-cef3

Windowless rendering will always use Alloy style. Windowed rendering with a default window or client-provided parent window can configure the style via CefWindowInfo.runtime_style. Windowed rendering with the Views framework can configure the style via CefWindowDelegate::GetWindowRuntimeStyle and CefBrowserViewDelegate::GetBrowserRuntimeStyle. Alloy style Windows with the Views framework can host only Alloy style BrowserViews but Chrome style Windows can host both style BrowserViews. Additionally, a Chrome style Window can host at most one Chrome style BrowserView but potentially multiple Alloy style BrowserViews. See CefWindowInfo.runtime_style documentation for any additional platform-specific limitations.
