ABSTRACT:
A method of displaying windows corresponding to a plurality of applications, each application having at least one corresponding window, and one application currently running on a data processing system. The method controls display of windows by selectively changing between displaying the windows corresponding to their respective applications running on the data processing system and displaying only the windows of the one applications currently running on the data processing system. This method provides an enhancement to interface architecture for application design by providing a blank background feature to mask windows of all but the current application displayed on a data processing system screen when invoked by the user.
