Abstract
A method, system, and program for selectively adjusting windows in response to a scroll wheel rotation are provided. A rotation of a scroll wheel position is detected.

Claims15
A method for adjusting a transparency of a displayable object within a graphical interface, said method comprising the step of:
- detecting a rotation of a scroll wheel position;
- and
- adjusting a transparency of at least one displayable object located at a particular z-order level within a graphical interface according to said rotation of said scroll wheel position, such that said transparency of said at least one displayable object is incrementally adjusted according to said scroll wheel position.
A system for adjusting a transparency of a displayable object within a graphical interface, said system comprising:
- a graphical user interface;
- means for detecting a rotation of a scroll wheel position;
- and
- means for adjusting a transparency of at least one displayable object located at a particular z-order level within said graphical user interface according to said rotation of said scroll wheel position.
A program for adjusting a transparency of a displayable object within a graphical interface, residing on a computer usable medium having computer readable program code means, said program comprising:
- means for detecting a rotation of a scroll wheel position;
- and
- means for controlling a transparency of at least one displayable object located at a particular z-order level within a graphical interface according to said rotation of said scroll wheel position.
