  • Patent number: 9026935
    Abstract: A client system displays a user interface with a display region and a minimized window region. A plurality of windows are displayed in the display region, including a first window and a second window. The client system detects a first input that corresponds to a request to change a state of one or more of the windows; and in response to detecting the first input, the client system ceases to display the first window in the display region, and displays a representation of the first window in the minimized window region. After ceasing to display the first window, the client system detects a second input that corresponds to a request to view content of the first window; and in response to detecting the second input, the client displays an interactive overlay that includes content of the first window and partially overlaps the display region.
