Abstract textA control of a window-based interactive user interface ( 210) includes at least two overlapping display and control windows ( 220, 230). When one display and control window ( 220) is activated, the other display and control window ( 230) is automatically reduced in size to such an extent that it is represented in its entirety on the interactive user interface ( 210) without overlapping the display and control window ( 220). The activation of the display and control window ( 220) is preferably triggered by an optical cursor ( 211). |
