摘要： A method referred to as x-ray browsing for allowing a user to browse through windows on their desktop is provided. Aspects of the invention include responsive to a command, making a first window the window in focus on the display screen and changing the relative opacities between a content portion of the first window and a content portion of the second window. By controlling the opacities a single window can be made opaque while the remaining windows can be made transparent to allow a user to successively navigate among open windows.

摘要： A command link input control has a main title portion describing a user input option corresponding to selection of that command link. Upon selection of the command link, a dialog containing that command link is completed without requiring a user to select additional input controls. The command link may optionally contain a subtitle portion for providing supplementary text further explaining or otherwise elaborating upon the option corresponding to the command link. The command link may also contain a glyph. Upon hovering a cursor over a command link or otherwise indicating potential selectability of the command link, the entire link is highlighted by, e.g., altering the background color of the display region containing the main title, subtitle and/or glyph.

摘要： A method for managing a plurality of application window representations is described. The method includes steps of defining a set of application window representation positions in a predefined region, displaying a plurality of application window representations in the application window representation positions, receiving an input to open a first application window, creating a first application window representation in the predefined region, determining whether a second application window representation of the plurality needs to be repositioned into a hidden application window representation position, and repositioning the second application window representation into the hidden application window representation upon determining that the second application window representation needs to be repositioned, wherein the hidden application window representation position is within a glom.

摘要： Computer-implemented methods for managing software installed on a computer are provided. A first region of an interface displays a selection of software information views, including installed software, running software, and software updates. Selecting a view causes a second region of the interface to display the view, including a list of software. Selecting one of the pieces of software displays additional information about the software in a third region of the interface. A fourth region of the interface displays commands associated with the selected software information view. User-friendly names are used throughout the interface.

摘要： A system and a method for a user interface which generates a preview display to aid in the navigation of items of content on a computer. A screen displays an item to a user. Upon receipt of a user input representing a proposed navigational action to be performed with respect to the item, a preview display is generated and rendered on the screen display. The preview display includes at least a portion of the display which would result from a selection to perform the navigational action with respect to the item.

摘要： An operating system program launch menu, such as a Start menu, provides various mechanisms for a user to quickly and efficiently locate and launch desired data items such as programs, data files, storage locations, and the like. A search box within the program launch menu may be used to quickly locate programs, documents, communications, and other data items. An auto-complete feature may be used, e.g., when the user restricts the locations searched for the user-entered search text. A most commonly used program list may include programs based on various criteria including both frequency of use and recent use, thereby always including a most recently used item. An all programs view may display programs and documents in a hosted-tree view within the original confines of the program launch menu, thereby negating the need to open sub-menus on top of a large portion of the desktop displayed on the display device.

摘要： A method for displaying at least one visualization of windows on a display screen is described. The method includes steps of receiving an input corresponding to a request to access visualizations of windows for a plurality of windows, and for each window of the plurality of windows, displaying a visualization of at least a portion of the content of the window in an area separately defined from the plurality of windows, wherein the at least a portion of the content includes dynamic video content. Another method provides for grouping and ordering the visualizations when displayed. Another method allows for display of visualizations related to child and/or parent windows.
