Abstract
Techniques for better information sharing and control switching in a graphical user interface (GUI) are described. In an example, windows are added to a dynamic area of a menu based on an execution of a menu application. The menu is presented in the GUI and each window is shown in a first state to provide quick information about the corresponding application. Upon a user selection of the window, the window is presented in a second state. Based on the window being in the second state, an application module is updated to present an overlay window reproducing the window in the second state. The overlay window is presented coextensive with and over the window in the second state.
