Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for capturing potentially obscured elements of a graphical user interface are disclosed. In one example, the method may include: generating a proxy object within an operating system, wherein the operating system includes a window manager and a graphics framework; registering a target graphical object for capture; instructing the operating system to map a copy of graphical information corresponding to the target object to the proxy object; intercepting graphical information corresponding to the target object; and storing a copy of the graphical information corresponding to the target object.

Abstract: An exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides GUI sharing method. The method comprises opening an application on a first CPU, the application creating a GUI on the display of the CPU, and providing access to the GUI to a user of a second CPU. In some embodiments of the present invention, providing access to the GUI to a user of the second CPU comprises dragging the GUI to an edge of a display of the first CPU. In some embodiments of the present invention, providing access to the GUI to a user of the second CPU results in the GUI being displayed on a display of the second CPU.
