The geometrychange event is fired when the position, size, or visibility of a Progressive Web App’s title bar area changes.

This only applies to Progressive Web Apps installed on desktop operating systems and use the Window Controls Overlay API.

Syntax

Use the event name in methods like addEventListener(), or set an event handler property.

addEventListener("geometrychange", (event) => { })

ongeometrychange = (event) => { }

Event type

A WindowControlsOverlayGeometryChangeEvent. Inherits from Event.

Examples

Using addEventListener():

navigator.windowControlsOverlay.addEventListener("geometrychange", (event) => {
  const { x, y, width, height } = event.titlebarAreaRect;
  console.log(
    `The titlebar area coordinates are x:${x}, y:${y}, width:${width}, height:${height}`,
  );
});

Using the ongeometrychange event handler property:

navigator.windowControlsOverlay.ongeometrychange = (event) => {
  const { x, y, width, height } = event.titlebarAreaRect;
  console.log(
    `The titlebar area coordinates are x:${x}, y:${y}, width:${width}, height:${height}`,
  );
};
