Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is for a composited desktop window manager. This invention outlines a method and system for rendering a desktop on a computer using a composited desktop model operating system. The composited desktop window manager receives content information from application programs and draws the window to a buffer memory for future reference. It takes advantage of advanced graphics hardware and visual effects to render windows based on the content on which they are drawn. Additionally, the windows can be rendered based on environment variables, including virtual light sources. The frame portion of each window is generated by pixel shading a bitmap that has the appearance of frosted glass, based on the content of the desktop on which the frame is displayed. Legacy support is also provided, allowing the operating system to draw and render windows generated by legacy applications to look consistent with non-legacy application windows.
