ABSTRACT:
Floating or movable windows are provided to display information during debugging, either above the source code, or attached to the source code in the locations that they are relevant to. The floating windows can be semi-transparent in order to allow visibility to both the information in the window and the underlying information such as source code. The windows have different behavior, location, and look, depending on the type of information displayed in window and its relation to the underlying code.
