Abstract
Application closing techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a computing device recognizes an input as involving selection of an application displayed in a display environment by the computing device and subsequent movement of a point of the selection toward an edge of the display environment. Responsive to the recognizing of the input, the selected application is closed by the computing device.

21. A device comprising:
-
one or more processors; and memory storing instructions, that when executed on the one or more processors, cause the device to; recognize a touch input as initiating selection of an application displayed on a display screen of the device, the application consuming a first amount of display area within the display screen; responsive to the recognizing of the touch input, reduce the first amount of display area consumed by the application within the display screen to a second amount of display area, the reducing to indicate the selection of the application; cause the second amount of display area to follow subsequent touch input; and close the application based at least in part on the subsequent touch input crossing a threshold defined in relation to an edge of the display screen. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)

29. A system comprising:
-
a display screen one or more processors; and memory storing instructions, that when executed on the one or more processors, perform operations comprising; recognizing an input as initiating selection of an application displayed on the display screen, the application consuming a first amount of display area within the display screen; responsive to the recognizing of the input, reducing the first amount of display area consumed by the application within the display screen to a second amount of display area; causing the second amount of display area to follow subsequent input; and closing the application based at least in part on the subsequent input. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)
