Abstract: Apparatus provides for providing multi-mode warping of graphical user interface (GUI) objects, such as but not limited to a pointing object (e.g., cursor) and a window. In one example, the apparatus includes logic operative to provide a user interface that allows a user to select different warping modes. In one example, a user may select a pointing object warping mode and/or a window warping mode. In the pointing object warping mode, the apparatus applies a warp operation to one or more pointing objects that uses display content information to determine where to move the pointing object. In the window warping mode, the apparatus applies a warp operation to one or more windows that also uses display content information to determine where to move the window. The destination position of the GUI object is determined based on content identification information associated with display content such as name, serial number or label that identifies the display content.

Abstract: A method and apparatus provides for controlling movement of one or more graphical user interface (GUI) objects such as a cursor and/or a window. In one example, the method and apparatus applies a warp operation to the GUI object that uses display content information to determine where to move the cursor and/or window. The destination position of the GUI object is determined based on content identification information associated with display content such as name, serial number or label that identifies the display content. The display content may be any visible object to be displayed on the display screen, including but is not limited to, windows, taskbars, sidebars, docks, program launchers, icons, controls, and background (wallpaper). The warp operation may be an immediate relocation of the GUI object to the destination position without any user intervention during the relocation.
