Abstract
Some embodiments of the inventive subject matter are directed to affixing a first window to a top layer of a stack of overlaid windows in a user interface, and making one or more portions of the first window transparent. One or more portions of one or more additional windows below the first window in the stack of overlaid windows become visible through the one or more portions of the first window. Some embodiments are further directed to directing a focus for user input to the one or more additional windows below the first window while the first window remains affixed at the top layer.
