Cortana integration from a hosted web app on Windows. To do this you'll need a meta tag in your html page pointint to an xml voice command definition file on your server. You'll also need to handle the Cortana activation event in your JavaScript.

seksenov / changeAppTitleBarColors.js
Created December 10, 2015 23:51 — forked from Gr8Gatsby/changeAppTitleBarColors.js
This Gist shows how to set the application titlebar colors. There is a helper function that accepts an HTML hexString and converts it to an RGBA color object for Windows.
/*
This function expects two hexStrings and relies on hexStrToRGBA to convert
to a JSON object that represents RGBA for the underlying Windows API to
understand.
Examples of valid values:
setAppBarColors('#FFFFFF','#000000');
setAppBarColors('#FFF','#000');
setAppBarColors('FFFFFF','000000');
setAppBarColors('FFF','000');
