According to one disclosed embodiment, an approach is provided in which a user action directed at a selected graphical user interface (GUI) control displayed on a display screen is received at a machine. The selected GUI control corresponds to a software application and the selected GUI control is used to launch the software application. The system detects that the user action is a billboard request. Billboard data corresponding to the software application is retrieved and displayed on the display screen. In addition, the displaying of the billboard data inhibits execution of the software application.

An approach is provided where a request is received to rotate graphical objects displayed on a display screen from a first orientation to a second orientation, the request received from a user operating the machine. The second orientation of the graphical objects is calculated based on a rotational reference that is included in the request. The graphical objects are then displayed on the display screen at the calculated second orientation, with the second orientation being visually rotated from the first orientation.

According to one disclosed embodiment, an approach is provided to rotate a workspace displayed on a display screen. The workspace includes visual tiles displayed in a grid layout of columns and rows. A current aspect ratio of the display screen is identified. A current row value and a current column value associated with each of the visual tiles is retrieved. The current aspect ratio is inverted resulting in a new aspect ratio of the display screen. Each of the plurality of visual tiles is rotated ninety degrees. A new row value associated with each of the visual tiles is set to the current column value and a new column value associated with each of the visual tiles is set to the current row value. Each rotated tile is displayed at the new row and column values using the new aspect ratio.

According to one disclosed embodiment, an approach is provided in which a multi-workspace request is received at a machine while the machine is operating in a single workspace mode and while the machine is displaying a first single workspace on a display screen accessible by the machine. The machine includes a number of single workspaces and each of the single workspaces has spaces to display a number of tiles that each correspond to an application. A multi-workspace mode is displayed on the display screen, with the displaying of the multi-workspace mode including displaying a set of the single workspaces on the display screen. Each of the set of single workspaces is displayed in a reduced size in comparison to the single workspace mode.

According to one disclosed embodiment, an approach is provided in which a mobile mode of a Website is displayed in a first (smaller) window displayed on a display screen with the mobile mode corresponding to a first (mobile) network address of the Website. A user action is received that requests a non-mobile mode of the Website. The user action is processed by closing the first (smaller) window and displaying a non-mobile (e.g., desktop) mode of the Website in a second window, such as a browser, that is displayed on the display screen. The non-mobile mode of the Website corresponds to a second network address (e.g., a normal, or desktop, version of the Website).
摘要:
A method for displaying various types of messages received from a network to which an information handling system, such as a computer, is connected. A selection is made from a list of application programs installed on the system as to whether or not messages are displayed when selected ones of the application programs are running on the system. A message display system can be operated by preventing display of messages when the display of the system is in a particular mode, such as one of full screen mode or presentation mode. A selection may be made as to which types of messages are to be displayed. Only those types of messages that are selected are displayed on a display of the system. A medium can have code thereon for causing a system to implement the method. An information handling system, such as a computer, can have a processor and memory for storing instructions to implement the method.
