Is there a way to use Chromium switches after starting it up, or must they be enabled on start up? For example, can switches be passed to the renderer processes, or just to the main process?
I want to turn on paint flashing in Chromium (actually in my Electron app which runs on top of Chromium).
Devtools has a checkbox that turns this on, but I want to be able to turn this on without devtools, and after the app has started.
I know there's a show-paint-rects
flag I can use:
chrome.exe --show-paint-rects
In my Electron app, I would need to use app.commandLine.appendSwitch
:
app.commandLine.appendSwitch("show-paint-rects");
I also found a ui-show-paint-rects
flag that lives in something called the "compositor," but that may be irrelevant for me.
Both of these work, but since Chromium uses a multi-process architecture, I'm hoping that there's a way I can specify that switch, or otherwise, turn on a feature in one process and not have to specify it at startup.
Is there a way to do this in Chromium? (Would be ideal to do this in Electron, but I'm not counting on it)

depends. majority of flags are required to be set before whole choromium app instance starts, reason it only works via cli or electron's appendSwitch before app ready event.

you can safely assume it won't unless there is specific comment about some flag can be enabled after chromium app starts.
