- Electron version: 0.37.7
- Operating system: Linux

I would like to be able to disable the gpu in my application code, not by having to pass an argument to electron.

I tried using both of these and neither work.

``` javascript
app.commandLine.appendSwitch("disable-gpu")
app.commandLine.appendArgument("disable-gpu")
```

Is there any other way to disable-gpu instead of passing this argument directly as `electron ./my-project --disable-gpu` ?
