Abstract

See full text

In certain embodiments, a graphical user interface system is provided. The system includes a display and a processor, coupled to the display, configured to display a plurality of windows. The processor is configured to simultaneously receive from a user a plurality of window action inputs, each window action input associated with a corresponding window, indicating requests to conduct actions with the corresponding windows. Each window action input is separately provided by the user. Each window includes a frame portion and a content portion including an object having at least one predetermined function and capable of receiving an input configured to active the predetermined function. When the processor receives a window adjustment input for the object from a user indicating a request to adjust the window, the window is configured to be adjusted. The window adjustment input is different than the input. Methods and computer-readable mediums are also provided.
