CONTROLLING APPLICATION LAUNCH

摘要

A method, apparatus, and/or computer program product control how an application window of a graphical user interface will open. A computing device defines a time period immediately after an application launch selection action by a user and before an on-screen drawing of the application window. A gesture input hardware sensing device senses a gesture input during the time period. A gesture recognition engine recognizes the gesture input. Based on at least one of a type and location of a recognized gesture input, the computing device selects the window location and window dimensions of the application window. The computing device draws the application window on-screen using a selected window location and selected window dimensions for the application window.
