Abstract
The present invention provides a method, system, and computer readable medium for viewing hidden windows on a display including a plurality of application windows, a portion of at least one application window of the plurality of application windows being obscured. The method, system, and computer readable medium comprise creating a viewport displayed as a topmost application window in response to a user interaction and displaying at least a portion of the at least one application window being obscured in the viewport. Through the use of the present invention a user can simultaneously view information from multiple applications where one or more application windows are partially or wholly covering needed information in an underlying application window. Furthermore, the user will also be able to view application windows that are not directly underneath the primary application window, but are in an inactive state. This will provide the user with the ability to quickly access needed information without having to undergo the time consuming process of resizing, minimizing, or rearranging desktop windows.
