摘要： A method for expanding and contracting a window panel to uncover the panel's content to the user without resize other panels and without reformatting their content, is described. A user chooses a window panel by moving a pointer to that panel. If there is content in that panel not shown to the user, the panel expands to show the entire content. If expansion is not necessary initially, the system waits to see if any actions by the user require expansion. Upon expansion at any stage, portions of neighboring window panels are covered instead of the neighboring panels contracting and reformatting their content. Once the pointer is moved out of a window panel, the panel contracts to its default or original size and the expansion process occurs for a newly entered panel. Also described is the process of determining the maximum expansion size of a window panel and the "rolling out" and "rolling in" characteristic of the expansion and contraction process.

摘要： A graphical resource editor for selectively modifying graphical resources in software applications provides a main window graphical user interface object for interaction with the graphical resource editor. The main window contains a resource category selection object including a list of selectable resource category objects. These objects contain resource category descriptors corresponding to categories of editable resources. The resource category selection object provides a user activatable interface for selecting among the list of resource category objects an editable resource category. The graphical resource editor further includes a system responsive to user activation of the resource category selection object for generating in the main window a list of resource descriptors corresponding to selected category of editable resources. A plurality of resource value display fields are provided in the main window for displaying resource values representing the status of the selected category of editable resources. Also provided in the main window is a set of resource value selection objects providing user activatable interfaces for setting editable resource values. Customization of software applications may performed statically by saving resource edits to an application resource file, or dynamically by applying resource edits on-the-fly to an application running concurrently with the graphical resource editor.

摘要翻译： 用于在软件应用程序中选择性地修改图形资源的图形资源编辑器提供用于与图形资源编辑器交互的主窗口图形用户界面对象。 主窗口包含一个资源类别选择对象，包括可选资源类别对象的列表。 这些对象包含与可编辑资源的类别相对应的资源类别描述符。 资源类别选择对象提供用户可激活接口，用于在资源类别对象列表中选择可编辑资源类别。 图形资源编辑器还包括响应于用户激活资源类别选择对象的系统，用于在主窗口中生成对应于所选择的可编辑资源类别的资源描述符的列表。 在主窗口中提供多个资源值显示字段，用于显示表示所选择的可编辑资源类别的状态的资源值。 主窗口中还提供了一组资源选择对象，提供用户可激活的界面，用于设置可编辑的资源值。 软件应用程序的定制可以通过将资源编辑保存到应用程序资源文件来静态执行，也可以动态地将资源编辑应用于与图形资源编辑器同时运行的应用程序。
