Abstract
Implementations disclosed herein relate to a device for applying a degree of transparency. The device may comprise a display engine to display a foreground and background area, wherein the background area is associated with a first application and the foreground area is associated with a second application. The device may further comprise a transparency engine to apply a degree of transparency to the foreground area in an overlap area between the foreground area and the background area. The device may further comprise a trigger engine to determine whether a trigger event associated with the first application has occurred, wherein the trigger event is based on a metric value received by the first application, and in response to determining that the triggering event associated with the first application has occurred, cause the display engine to display the first application in front of the second application.
