SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING GRAPHIC IMAGES

摘要

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING GRAPHIC IMAGES A graphic user interface for a computer is provided in which representations of application programs can be placed on the display in a specified area reserved for such a purpose in which area they could not be so readily obscured and forgotten, and which includes a facility for controlling the placement of such representations within the reserved area. The graphic images are guided into specific locations, or "docks" in the reserved area, and their removal from the docks is restricted to prevent accidental withdrawal.
