ABSTRACT:
A computer system and method manipulate multiple windows or similar graphical user interface components using a proximity pointer that concurrently manipulates windows that are at least partially disposed within a proximity range located proximate the pointer. Windows may be concurrently moved or resized in response to movement of the pointer. In the alternative, windows may be concurrently moved or resized either inwardly or outwardly along radial lines extending from a common origin located proximate the pointer.
