Virtual desktop manager
Abstract
A method for a user to preview multiple virtual desktops in a graphical
user interface is described. The method comprises receiving an
indication from a user to preview the multiple virtual desktops and
displaying multiple panes on the display. Each pane contains a scaled
virtual desktop having dimensions that are proportionally less than the
dimensions of a corresponding full-size virtual desktop. Each scaled
virtual desktop displays with one or more scaled application windows as
shadows if the corresponding full-size virtual desktop has one or more
corresponding application windows that are active.
