Abstract

Systems and methods are provides for creating a window stack for a multi-screen device. The stack is an arrangement of an active window and at least one other active or inactive window for at least one of the two displays. The system can receive activation of a window in the device. Upon activation of the window, the system can determine a display associated with the active window and can determine a position in the window stack for the active window. Then, the system can generate a logic data structure for the active window to describe the position of the active window in the window stack.
