Abstract
A computer implemented method is configured to remotely access a desktop hosted by a server system. The method displays a local view of a remote desktop hosted by a server system based on information received from the server system where the remote desktop includes a first object. The method then detects user input indicating a request to move the first object. In response to the request, the method generates a second object to represent the first object. The second object is generated to correspond to the visual appearance of the object. The method then presents the second object on the local view of the remote desktop. The second object may overlay the first object. The second object is then moved to a destination on the local view of the desktop according to the request. Once the move has concluded, the method transmits the destination to the server system.
