ABSTRACT:
Selected visual content is unobtrusively presented on a computing system display, so as not to obscure or prevent access to underlying content. The selected visual content may be designated from among various types of visual content by a user or by a program. The selected visual content is maintained as the topmost content so that it is not obscured by other visual content. In addition, the selected visual content is rendered to be at least partially visually transparent and functionally transparent, preferably using functionality already included in an operating system used by the computing system. The selected visual content can thus be viewed by a user while the user is still able to see and work with the other visual content on the display that may underlie the selected visual content, enabling the user to work more efficiently and make better use of the display.
