Graphical user interface window spacing mechanisms

摘要

Computer-implemented methods for adjusting a display of multiple web page windows in a web browser are provided. In one aspect, a method includes receiving selections of visible portions of first and second web page windows oriented in an overlaid configuration with first and second touch inputs, and receiving a dragging motion of the touch inputs to alter the visible portion of at least one of the windows. When the dragging motion includes dragging the touch inputs away from one another, the visible portion of the first web page window is increased and the visible portion of the second web page window is decreased, and when the dragging motion includes dragging the touch inputs towards one another, the visible portion of the first web page window is decreased and the visible portion of the second web page window is increased. Systems, graphical user interfaces, and machine-readable media are also provided.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method for adjusting a display of multiple web page windows oriented in an overlaid configuration in a web browser, the method comprising:
providing for display a plurality of web page windows as a stack of web page windows in an overlaid configuration, the plurality of web page windows comprising a first web page window, a second web page window, and a third web page window between the first web page window and the second web page window, the first web page window being detached from and not bound to the second web page window in the overlaid configuration; receiving a selection of a visible portion of the first web page window with a first touch input and a selection of a visible portion of the second web page window with a second touch input; and receiving a dragging motion of the first touch input and the second touch input to alter the visible portion of at least one of the first and second web page windows in the overlaid configuration, wherein when the dragging motion comprises concurrent dragging of the first touch input and the second touch input away from one another, the visible portion of the first web page window and the visible portion of the third web page window is increased and the visible portion of the second web page window is decreased based on the concurrent movement of each of the first web page window in response to the dragging of the first touch input and the second web page window in response to the dragging of the second touch input, wherein when the dragging motion comprises concurrent dragging of the first touch input and the second touch input towards one another, the visible portion of the first web page window and the visible portion of the third web page window is decreased and the visible portion of the second web page window is increased based on the concurrent movement of each of the first web page window in response to the dragging of the first touch input and the second web page window in response to the dragging of the second touch input, and wherein an order of the third web page window between the first web page window and the second web page window remains unchanged upon the concurrent selection of the visible portion of the first web page window and the visible portion of the second web page window.
