ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to method and apparatus for presenting a graphical user interface for use in displaying graphics on a computer display. A frame window is launched that includes a main menu and defines a window border that bounds a user work surface on a display monitor. A first borderless child window is attached to the frame window. This first borderless window is a graphics display window for displaying an image on the user work surface. One or more additional borderless child windows are attached to the frame window. These other child windows display controls such as buttons and icons that allow the user to control depiction of the image within the first borderless child window. The buttons and icons have a sculpted appearance that appears raised in a first state and appear reversed when `depressed` or activated by the user.
