ABSTRACT:
System for implementing a perspective windowing technique for a computer GUI is disclosed. The perspective windowing system of the present invention displays each of a plurality of open but inactive, or "background," windows, with perspective depth with respect to one or more focal points, resulting in the background windows effectively taking up less space on the display of the PC. In contrast, a full frontal view of the active window is presented on the display to call the user's attention to the active window. When the user activates a new window, it swings forward about its full scale front edge, such that a full frontal view of the newly active window is presented on the display, and the previously active window swings back about an axis defined by its full front scale edge to be displayed in perspective with respect to the predefined focal point.
