Window design alteration method and system

A window design alteration system capable of altering by computer processing a design of a window displayed on a screen of a computer running under a graphical user interface (GUI) environment, comprising:

• window display control means for displaying at least one window having a function on the screen;
• window specifying means for specifying at least one of the windows to be the object of a design alteration from among the windows displayed on the screen;
• a memory storing a plurality of bit maps;
• bit map selecting means for selecting at least one of the bit maps from among the bit maps stored in the memory;
• design self-alteration control means for automatically self-altering a design of the specified window specified by the window specifying means to the same design as the selected bit map selected by the bit map selecting means and for executing the automatic self-alteration, so that a function included in the specified window is effective within an outline pertaining to a design after the automatic self-alteration;
• and
• altered window display control means for displaying the specified window, on which the automatic self-alteration has been executed, in a position on the screen determined in relation to a position of the specified window before the automatic self-alteration.

A window design alteration system capable of altering by computer processing a design of a window displayed on a screen of a computer running under a graphical user interface (GUI) environment, comprising:

• window display control means for displaying a plurality of windows displayed overlapping on the screen, a function of each of which being a button function;
• window specifying means for specifying a plurality of windows to be objects of design alteration from among the windows displayed overlapping on the screen;
• a memory storing a plurality of bit maps;
• bit map selecting means for selecting a plurality of bit maps corresponding to the respective specified windows from among the bit maps stored in the memory;
• design self-alteration control means for automatically self-altering designs of the specified windows specified by the window specifying means to the same designs as the respective selected bit maps selected by the bit map selecting means and for executing the automatic self-alteration, so that a function included in each of the specified windows is effective within an outline pertaining to a design after the automatic self-alteration;
• and
• altered window display control means for displaying together the selected bit maps, on which the automatic self-alteration has been executed, without overlapping one another, so as to display a plurality of buttons combined on the same plane.
