The `background_color` member defines a placeholder background color for the application page to display before its stylesheet is loaded. This value is used by the user agent to draw the background color of a shortcut when the manifest is available before the stylesheet has loaded.
The `background_color` member defines a placeholder background color for the application page to display before its stylesheet is loaded.

This value is used by the user agent to draw the background color of a shortcut when the manifest is available before the stylesheet has loaded.

Therefore `background_color` should match the {{cssxref("background-color")}} CSS property in the site's stylesheet for a smooth transition between launching the web application and loading the site's content.

The `categories` member is an array of strings defining the names of categories that the application supposedly belongs to.

The `categories` member is an array of strings defining the names of categories that the application supposedly belongs to. There is no standard list of possible values, but the W3C maintains [a list of known categories](https://github.com/w3c/manifest/wiki/Categories).

> **Note:** `categories` are used only as hints for catalogs or stores listing web applications. Like search engines and meta keywords, catalogs and stores are free to ignore them.

> **Note:** `categories` values are lower-cased by the stores and catalogs before processing, so "News" and "news" are treated as the same value. Developers are encouraged to use lower case in the first place.

The `description` member is a string in which developers can explain what the application does. `description` is directionality-capable, which means it can be displayed left to right or right to left based on the values of the [`dir`](/en-US/docs/Web/Manifest) and [`lang`](/en-US/docs/Web/Manifest) manifest members.

The [`display`](/en-US/docs/Web/Manifest/display) member is used to determine the developer's preferred display mode for a website. It follows a process where the browser falls back to the next display mode if the requested one is not supported. In some advanced use cases, this fallback process might not be enough.

The `display_override` member solves this by letting the developer provide a sequence of display modes that the browser will consider before using the `display` member. Its value is an array of display modes that are considered in-order, and the first supported display mode is applied.

## Values
### Values

Display override objects are display-mode strings, the possible values are:

UI elements for controlling navigation, but can include other UI
elements such as a status bar.

(maximize, minimize, close, and other PWA-specific buttons) will appear
as an overlay above the web content.

</table>

## Example
- `browser`

- : The application opens in a conventional browser tab or new window, depending on the browser and platform.
This is the default.

- `fullscreen`

- : All of the available display area is used and no user agent {{Glossary("chrome")}} is shown.

- `minimal-ui`

- : The application will look and feel like a standalone application with a minimal set of UI elements for controlling navigation.
The elements will vary by browser.

- `standalone`

- : The application will look and feel like a standalone application.
This can include the application having a different window, its own icon in the application launcher, etc.
In this mode, the user agent will exclude UI elements for controlling navigation, but can include other UI elements such as a status bar.

- `tabbed`

- : The application can contain multiple application contexts inside a single OS-level window.
Supporting browsers can choose how to display these contexts, but a common approach is to provide a tab bar to switch between them.

- `window-controls-overlay`

- : This display mode only applies when the application is in a separate PWA window and on a desktop operating system.
The application will opt-in to the Window Controls Overlay feature, where the full window surface area will be available for the app's web content and the window control buttons (maximize, minimize, close, and other PWA-specific buttons) will appear as an overlay above the web content.

## Examples

In the example below, the browser will consider the following display-mode fallback chain in this order: `fullscreen` → `minimal-ui` → `standalone`.

The `file_handlers` member specifies an array of objects representing the types of files an installed [progressive web app (PWA)](/en-US/docs/Web/Progressive_web_apps) can handle.

The `file_handlers` member is read by the browser when the PWA is installed and used to associate the application with a given set of file types at the operating system level.

> While the `file_handlers` member is used to register a PWA with a given set of file types, this only results in the operating system launching the PWA when a matching file is opened. The PWA then needs to actually handle the file using JavaScript code. See [Handling the files](#handling_the_files) for more information.

## Values
### Values

An array of objects. Each object in the array must contain the following values (`action` and `accept` are required):

The navigation scope of a PWA defaults to its <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/Manifest/start_url"><code>start_url</code></a> member, but can also be defined by using the <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/Manifest/scope"><code>scope</code></a> member.

## Example
- `action`

- : A string containing the URL to navigate to when a file is handled.
This URL must be within the navigation scope of the PWA, which is the set of URLs that the PWA can navigate to. The navigation scope of a PWA defaults to its [`start_url`](/en-US/docs/Web/Manifest/start_url) member, but can also be defined by using the [`scope`](/en-US/docs/Web/Manifest/scope) member.

- `accept`

- : An object. For each property in the object:
- The property key is a MIME type.
- The property value is an array of strings representing file extensions associated with that MIME type.

## Examples

In this example, a web app manifest declares one file handler that registers the app to handle audio files. Other manifest members such as `name`, or `icons` are not included in this example for brevity:

The `id` member is a string that represents the _identity of the web application_ — the unique identifier for the web application. If the web application ID does not match an existing ID, the application will be treated as a unique identity even if it is from the same URL.

A valid `id` needs to be same-origin with `start_url`. If the `id` is a relative URL, it is resolved using the origin of [`start_url`](/en-US/docs/Web/Manifest/start_url). The fragment is always ignored.

The `launch_handler` member defines values that control the launch of a web application. Currently it can only contain a single value, `client_mode`, which specifies the context in which the app should be loaded when launched. For example, in an existing web app client containing an instance of the app, or in a new web app client. This leaves scope for more `launch_handler` values to be defined in the future.
