Abstract
Systems and methods for interfacing with a window having a hidden border are provided. In some aspects, a method includes providing for presentation of a first window within a display, while providing for hiding a border of the first window. The method also includes receiving an indication of a first user input for interfacing with an edge of the first window. The method also includes providing for making visible the border of the first window in response to the indication of the first user input.
Claims23
A computer-implemented method for interfacing with a window having a hidden border, the method comprising:
- providing for presentation of a first window within a display, while providing for hiding a border of the first window along a first side, a second side, and a third side of the first window;
- receiving an indication of a first user input for interfacing with the first side of the first window;
- providing for making visible the border of the first window along the first side of the first window in response to the indication of the first user input, while continuing to provide for hiding the border of the first window along the second side and the third side of the first window, wherein the visible border of the first window along the first side is for moving the first side to resize the first window;
- receiving an indication of an additional user input for interfacing with both the first side and the second side of the first window;
- and
- providing for making visible the border of the first window along the first side and the second side in response to the indication of the additional user input, while continuing to provide for hiding the border of the first window along the third side of the first window, wherein the visible border of the first window along the first side and the second side is for moving the first side and the second side to resize the first window.

A computer-readable medium for interfacing with a window having a hidden border, the computer-readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:
- receive an indication of a first user input for interfacing with a first side of a first window within a display, wherein a border of the first window is hidden along the first side, a second side, and a third side of the first window;
- provide for making visible the border of the first window along the first side of the first window in response to the indication of the first user input, while continuing to provide for hiding the border of the first window along the second side and the third side of the first window, wherein the visible border of the first window along the first side is for moving the first side to resize the first window;
- receive an indication of an additional user input for interfacing with both the first side and the second side of the first window;
- and
- provide for making visible the border of the first window along the first side and the second side in response to the indication of the additional user input, while continuing to provide for hiding the border of the first window along the third side of the first window, wherein the visible border of the first window along the first side and the second side is for moving the first side and the second side to resize the first window.

A system for interfacing with a window having a hidden border, the system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory comprising instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- provide for presentation of a first window within a display, while providing for hiding a border of the first window along a first side, a second side, and a third side of the first window;
- receive an indication of a cursor being hovered over the first side of the first window;
- and
- provide for making visible the border of the first window along the first side of the first window in response to the indication of the cursor being hovered over the first side of the first window, while continuing to provide for hiding the border of the first window along the second side and the third side of the first window, wherein the visible border of the first window along the first side is for moving the first side to resize the first window;
- receive an indication of an additional user input for interfacing with both the first side and the second side of the first window;
- and
- provide for making visible the border of the first window along the first side and the second side in response to the indication of the additional user input, while continuing to provide for hiding the border of the first window along the third side of the first window, wherein the visible border of the first window along the first side and the second side is for moving the first side and the second side to resize the first window.
