Abstract
Exemplary embodiments of methods and apparatuses to provide a coherent user interface across output devices having various characteristics are described. Rendering into a first window back buffer is performed to output a window on a first output device having first characteristics, and rendering into a second window back buffer is performed to display the window on a second output device having second characteristics. Pixel values of the window outputted on the first output device are stored in the first window back buffer, and the pixel values of the window outputted on the second output device are stored in the second window back buffer. The size of the first window back buffer is associated with the first characteristics of the first output device, and the size of the second window back buffer is associated with the second characteristics of the second output device.
