Abstract
A method includes receiving an input signal. The input signal includes a request to transition from a start window to an auxiliary window. The start window is identified. The start application is initially in an active state. The auxiliary window is identified. The auxiliary window is initially in an inactive state. A start window overlay is determined based on the start window. The start window overlay includes a visual copy of the start window. An auxiliary window overlay is determined based on the auxiliary window. The method includes transitioning from the start window to the auxiliary window in an active state based on the start window overlay and the auxiliary window overlay.
