Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer program products are described comprising a device configured to: present a first window of the first application in a first application region of a presentation space of the display; detect first user input in connection with the first window of the first application; in response to the detection of the first user input in connection with the first window of the first application, present a representation of a second window of the second application in a menu, in a first particular region of the presentation space of the display, for displaying the second window of the second application, in a second application region in the presentation space of the display, the first particular region: located in a first location adjacent to a second location of the first application region, operable for being at least one of re-sized or moved in response to the first application region being at least one of re-sized or moved, and operable for being hidden in response to the first application region being maximized, and represented in response to the first application region being returned to a non-maximized state; detect second user input in connection with the representation of the second window of the second application in the menu; and in response to the detection of the second user input in connection with the representation of the second window of the second application in the menu, present the second window of the second application.

2. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a device including at least one processor operatively coupled to a display and non-transitory memory, the memory storing a plurality of applications including a first application and a second application, the device configured to; present, utilizing the at least one processor and the display, a first window of the first application in a presentation space of the display; detect, utilizing the at least one processor, first user input; in response to the detection of the first user input, present, utilizing the at least one processor and the display, a representation of a second window of the second application in a menu, in a particular region of the presentation space of the display, for displaying the second window of the second application in the presentation space of the display in response to a detection of a second user input on the representation of the second window, the particular region; located in a first location adjacent to a second location of the first window, and operable for being hidden in response to the first window being maximized; detect, utilizing the at least one processor, the second user input on the representation of the second window of the second application; and in response to the detection of the second user input on the representation of the second window of the second application, present, utilizing the at least one processor and the display, the second window of the second application; wherein the apparatus is configured such that the particular region is located in the first location adjacent to the second location of the first window and the representation of the second window is organized with other representations of other windows for permitting a user to enter the second user input on the representation of the second window, instead of requiring the user, in connection with the second user input, to locate the second window among an unorganized clutter of different windows and instead of requiring, in connection with the second user input, use of a desktop taskbar.
