What are some solutions for distributing an HTML5 based desktop application? I want to be able to distribute my HTML5 app as a standalone desktop application on Windows, OSX, and Linux. I would like for people to be able to double click my app icon shortcut to run my program. I don't want the browser window showing at all, just my app. Is this possible?

I need to get the path (not the executable) where my application is running from: System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory() When I run the above statement with & "/images/image.jpg" on my local machine it works fine but when I install the application on another machine it says it cannot find the file and there is a lot of extra path information some. I just need the directory of where the app is running. I am coding in VB.NET with Visual Studio 2008. Thanks!

I need some way to monitor a desktop application and restart it if it dies. Initially I assumed the best way would be to monitor/restart the process from a Windows service, until I found out that since Vista Windows services should not interact with the desktop I've seen several questions dealing with this issue, but every answer I've seen involved some kind of hack that is discouraged by Microsoft and will likely stop working in future OS updates. So, a Windows service is probably not an option anymore. I could probably just create a different desktop/console application to do this, but that

I usually work on a Linux system, but I have a situation where I need to write a client app which would run on windows as a serivce.

First, I'm not interested in doing this professionally. I am a web developer, a coworker of mine recently left for Spotify and said he will be working mostly in JavaScript for the Spotify Desktop app. He said it uses "Chrome frame" and everything inside is done like a web app (HTML/JS/CSS). As a web developer who never built anything for Desktop, this is great news. If I can use the technologies I already know and implement them inside some sort of a "frame" and still be able to build a windows or better yet cross platform app. I know I didn't mention anything about the database, but even a

I have a QScrollArea with some buttons in it, like shown on the picture. The idea of the layout is: 1. The left and right button should be used for scrolling the buttons when they are too wide 2.The numbers of buttons in the scroll area can be changed dynamically 3. Any free space should be used to expand the scroll area as much as possible. If no such space exist navigation buttons should be used for scrolling. With my current implementation when i increase the buttons i have this: But there is free space on the right, so this should look like: If i increase once more to 10 for example, then
