Abstract

A computing device may include a display, and a processor coupled to the display and configured to generate a GUI current screen on the display. The GUI current screen may include a first window and a second window docked to the first window, the second window overlapping the first window. The processor may be configured to determine an interaction region in the first window based upon user input in the first window, determine a ratio of overlap between the first window and the second window, and resize the second window based upon the ratio of overlap and so that the second window does not overlap the interaction region.
