MAXIMIZING WINDOW DISPLAY AREA USING WINDOW FLOWING

摘要

A method, system, and a computer program product that enables a second window opened on a display screen to "flow" into and fill/occupy all available space within the displayable area of the display screen without overlapping a first window occupying less than the maximum width and/or length of the display area. A window flowing utility enables multiple windows to concurrently coexist and fill the maximum displayable area of the display screen. The window flowing utility determines which areas of the display screen are not currently being utilized by the first window, and allows the second window to occupy all of the available space remaining on the display device surrounding the first window.
