# Actions

### <mark style="color:purple;">Create Window</mark>

By default, your app will launch with 1 window open (the initial window), and the settings for this window are set in the Deskifier dashboard.\
\
When creating a new window, you can set the initial window properties. \
\
**Note: The constructor options can only be set at creation time - these properties can't be updated later.** The other window attributes can be changed on the fly as needed by your experience.\

Read our style guide for tips on setting your initial constructor options.
{% endhint %}

***

### <mark style="color:purple;">Update Window Properties</mark>

Set the state your window should be in. **Note**: Fields are optional. Only properties that are provided will be updated; omitted properties will remain unchanged.

***

### <mark style="color:purple;">Destroy</mark>

Force closes a window, even if the closable property is set to "no".

***

### <mark style="color:purple;">Execute JavaScript</mark>

Runs JavaScript in the designated window. This can be used to trigger events from your Bubble app in external pages & vice versa. \
\
To send a message back to your window from your external window, call this function.

```javascript
await window.deskifier.invoke('sendWindowMessage', { message, toWindowId })
```

This will fire the "Window - Message Received" event in your target window.

***

### <mark style="color:purple;">Send Window Message</mark>

Sends an arbitrary message to the target window. Useful for communicating between windows.

***

### <mark style="color:purple;">Show</mark>

Shows a hidden/minimized window.

***

### <mark style="color:purple;">Minimize</mark>

Minimizes the window.

***

### <mark style="color:purple;">Maximize</mark>

Maximizes the window.

***

### <mark style="color:purple;">Open Dev Tools</mark>

Shows the chromium dev tools for the given window.

***

### <mark style="color:purple;">Center Window</mark>

Centers the window in the middle of the screen.

***

### <mark style="color:purple;">Hide Window</mark>

Hides the window. Note this is not the same as minimizing a window. This will put the window into a hidden state that will need to be shown again with the "Window - Show" action.

***

### <mark style="color:purple;">Unmaximize</mark>

Unmaximizes a window.

***

### <mark style="color:purple;">Focus</mark>

Focuses the window. This will also bring the window to the top of the stack.
