Making Web Applications Look Like Desktop Applications Using Chrome

One thing that I really like about Chrome is the option to make a web application look like a desktop application. It is sometimes useful to have a commonly used web app in a separate window.

Open Chrome and type in the URL to your desired web application.  In this case Pandora.

Access the Chrome menu and click on the Create application shortcuts… option

Select where you want put the shortcut icon

Start Menu with new Pandora icon

Magically, Pandora now looks like a desktop application.

In closing, I find the option of turning a browser app into a desktop app very helpful especially for music sites and task list applications.
