- a touch interface comprising at least one of a touchscreen or a touchpad;
one or more memories; and
one or more processors configured to execute instructions to facilitate;
providing a window of an application for display on the apparatus from a perspective in front of the window;
receiving a touch input via the touch interface; and
in response to the touch input, providing a plurality of windows for display on the apparatus from a perspective vertically above the plurality of windows as a cascade of windows vertically from top to bottom, the plurality of windows comprising the window, each of the plurality of windows touchable and selectable via the touch interface,wherein;
each of the plurality of windows comprises a first edge and a second edge,the providing a window comprises providing the window for display on the apparatus without providing for display on the apparatus other windows of the plurality of windows, andthe providing a plurality of windows comprises;
providing for display a partial view of each of the plurality of windows from a perspective vertically above the plurality of windows, wherein a portion of each of the plurality of windows is hidden from display, andfor each of the plurality of windows, providing for display an appearance that the first edge forms an acute angle with the second edge, wherein the acute angle formed by the first edge and the second edge of a first window of the plurality of windows is different from the acute angle formed by the first edge and the second edge of a second window of the plurality of windows.
