CHANGING THE SCREEN STACK UPON DESKTOP REVEAL

1 . A computer readable medium, having stored thereon, computer-executable instructions executable by a processor, the computer-executable instructions causing the processor to execute a method for managing a window stack for a device, the computer-executable instructions comprising:

instructions to receive a gesture to reveal a desktop associated with the device, wherein the desktop is operable to be displayed across two or more touch sensitive displays;

instructions to determine a second position in the window stack for the desktop, wherein the desktop is moved from a first position to a second position and wherein the second position is at a top of the window stack;

after determining the second position of desktop, instructions to change a logic data structure associated with the desktop to describe the second position of the desktop in the window stack; and

instructions to display the desktop to a user, wherein the desktop is displayed across the two or more touch sensitive displays.

2 . The computer readable medium as defined in claim 1 , wherein the window stack is a logical arrangement of active and inactive windows for the device.

3 . The computer readable medium as defined in claim 2 , wherein the window stack provides a representation of windows or display objects to the user.

4 . The computer readable medium as defined in claim 3 , wherein the across two or more touch sensitive displays is opened across substantially all of a composite display.

5 . The computer readable medium as defined in claim 4 , wherein the composite display occupies substantially all of the at least the two or more touch sensitive displays.

6 . The computer readable medium as defined in claim 5 , wherein the logical data structure comprises one or more of:

a window identifier adapted to identify the desktop in relation to other windows in the window stack;

a window stack position identifier adapted to identify the position in the window stack for the desktop; and

a display identifier adapted to identify the composite display of the device, which the desktop is associated.

7 . The computer readable medium as defined in claim 6 , wherein a first display of the device is associated with a first portion of the window stack and a second display of the device is associated with a second portion of the window stack.

8 . The computer readable medium as defined in claim 7 , wherein the logic data structure further comprises a window stack identifier adapted to identify both the first portion and second portion of which the desktop is associated.

9 . A device comprising:

at least two displays;

a memory;

a processor in communication with the memory and each of the at least two displays, the processor operable to:

provide a composite display, wherein the composite display includes the at least two displays;

receive a gesture on the device, wherein the gesture reveals a previously opened desktop, wherein the desktop occupies a substantial portion of the composite display;

associate the desktop with the composite display; and

after associating the desktop with the composite display, create a logic data structure associated with the desktop that describes the position of the desktop as being on top of a window stack and displayed across the at least two displays.

10 . The device as defined in claim 9 , wherein at least one other window is altered by the desktop reveal.

11 . The device as defined in claim 10 , further comprising altering a second logic data structure associated with the altered window.

12 . The device as defined in claim 9 , wherein the desktop is associated with all of the at least two displays.

13 . The device as defined in claim 12 , wherein the logic data structure comprises one or more of:

a window identifier adapted to identify the desktop in relation to other windows in the window stack;

a window stack position identifier adapted to identify the top position in the window stack for the desktop; and

at least two display identifiers adapted to identify each of the at least two displays of the device which the desktop is associated.

14 . The device as defined in claim 13 , wherein the desktop opened at a bottom of a window stack and is moved from the bottom of the window stack to the top of the window stack.

15 . The device as defined in claim 14 , wherein the desktop covers at least one other window.

16 . A method for presenting a display for a device, the method comprising:

providing a composite display that spans at least a portion of two or more touch sensitive displays;

displaying a first window in at least one portion of the composite display;

receiving a first gesture associated with revealing a desktop;

interpreting the gesture as revealing a desktop; and

presenting the desktop across the composite display spanning at least the portion of the two or more touch sensitive displays, wherein the desktop obscures the first window.

17 . The method defined in claim 16 , further comprising:

receiving a second gesture;

interpreting the second gesture as moving the obscured window; and

presenting the obscured window as obscuring at least a portion of the reveal desktop.

18 . The method defined in claim 17 , wherein presenting the obscured window appears to cover at least a portion of the desktop.

19 . The method defined in claim 18 , wherein the first gesture is a selection in a configurable area, and wherein the desktop appears to expand over the first window.

20 . The method defined in claim 18 , wherein the second gesture is a drag gesture in a gesture capture region, and wherein the obscured window appears to slide over the revealed desktop.
