<p>The present invention provides a method and apparatus for handling a dismissed dialogue box (730) that displays an animation in which the dialogue box (730) moves to an off-screen space beyond the perimeter of a computer display. Based on a later user request to view the dismissed dialogue box (730), the present invention provides a further animation that brings the off-screen space (714) and the dialogue box into view. Under some embodiments, multiple dismissed dialogue boxes (720, 722) are stored in the off-screen space (714) and the user can manipulate the boxes when viewing the off-screen space. In some embodiments, the off-screen space is brought into view by rotating the space into the user's current view. In other embodiments, the user's current view is rotated to show the space.</p> |
