Three dimensional desktop rendering in a data processing device

A non-transitory medium, readable through a data processing device and including instructions embodied therein that are executable through the data processing device, comprising:

• instructions to initiate, through a display driver component of a processor of the data processing device, acquisition of at least one depth parameter of at least one of:
• a window of an application executing on the data processing device and a sub-portion of the window;
• instructions to determine, through the processor of the data processing device, depth of the at least one of the window relative to a background desktop surface provided by an operating system executing on the data processing device and the sub-portion of the window relative to the window based on the acquired at least one depth parameter;
• and
• instructions to render, through the processor of the data processing device, the at least one of the window and the sub-portion of the window in a 3D mode based on the determined relative depth thereof on a display unit of the data processing device.

A data processing device comprising:

• a memory;
• a processor communicatively coupled to the memory;
• and
• a display driver component of the processor to initiate acquisition of at least one depth parameter of at least one of:
• a window of an application executing on the data processing device and a sub-portion of the window, the processor being configured to:
• determine depth of the at least one of the window relative to a background desktop surface provided by an operating system executing on the data processing device and the sub-portion of the window relative to the window based on the acquired at least one depth parameter, and
• render the at least one of the window and the sub-portion of the window in a 3D mode based on the determined relative depth thereof on a display unit of the data processing device.
