METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR APPLYING CHANGES TO A USER INTERFACE
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- receiving an input for specifying at least one change to one or more components of a first user interface;
determining to preserve respective execution states of one or more applications associated with the first user interface; and
determining to apply the at least one change to generate a second user interface for presenting the one or more applications based, at least in part, on the preserved respective execution states.

Abstract
An approach is provided for applying changes to a user interface. The window manager receives an input for specifying at least one change to one or more components of a first user interface. Next, the window manager determines respective execution states of one or more applications associated with the user interface. Then, the window manager determines to apply the at least one change to generate a second user interface while preserving the respective execution states.
