Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and methods for providing a cropped application window of an application window. The systems include a window cropping application that performs a method that allows a user to crop just the portion of an application window the user is interested in (e.g., play controls for a music app, chat window in a gaming app) and place it in an area of the display with enduring visibility or accessibility (e.g., widget dashboard, desktop). The present technology may also be used for web pages (e.g., tutorial articles, reference images), document pages (e.g., reference pages), applications (e.g., calculators), and other scenarios. For example, the present technology described herein improves multi-window scenarios, particularly on small screen devices where screen space is further limited. The present technology makes it easier for users to work across different windows and applications and improve the ease of composing each window.
