A dual-screen user device and methods for revealing a combination of desktops on single and multiple screens are disclosed. A determined number of desktops and/or running applications can be selectively displayed on dual screen displays conditioned upon inputs received and the state of the device. Desktop displays and applications can be selectively shifted between the screens by user gestures, and can be moved off of the screens by other user gestures and therefore hidden. The hidden desktops and screens however can be re-displayed by yet another gesture. The desktops and applications are arranged in a window stack that represents a logical order of the desktops and applications allowing a user with an intuitive ability to manage multiple applications/desktops running simultaneously. Visual indicators can be used on the displayed applications and desktops enabling a user to maximize a display on multiple screens or to minimize them on a single selected screen.
A method of displaying a plurality of desktops and/or applications, each having at least one window, on a multi-screen device, comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that cause a computing system to execute a method, the instructions comprising:
A multi-screen user device, comprising:
The device of clam 13, wherein the visual indicator appears on the applications or desktops running on both the first and second displays so that gestures made by the user to maximize or minimize a selected one of the first or second desktops or applications enables a user to maximize and minimize the applications or desktops appearing on both the first and second displays sequentially and repeatedly.
