Abstract: A method of window control for display screens includes providing at least one display screen including at least a first application display window (first window), where the first window is exclusive of any dedicated area for selecting window-control functions (WCFs). A detect signal is generated responsive to detecting a mouse pointer hovering over a pre-defined trigger area of the first window. A detect signal is sent to a processor which is coupled to a display driver that is coupled to drive the display screen. Responsive to receiving the detect signal, the processor and display driver cause the displaying of a window control panel (WCP) as a popup within the first window, where the WCP includes a plurality of WCFs including at least close and maximize.
