The subject technology discloses configurations for determining a minimum dots per inch (DPI) setting for displaying graphical content in a window based on a native pixel density of a display. Respective graphical content is scaled for displaying in a first window based on the minimum DPI setting to fit a horizontal dimension of the first window. The subject technology then scales respective graphical content for displaying in a second window based on the minimum DPI setting to fit a horizontal dimension of the second window. In some configurations, the graphical content in the first window is scaled at a different DPI setting than the graphical content in the second window.

Systems and methods for navigating stackable workspaces on an electronic device are provided. A system includes a navigation module configured to display a first workspace of a plurality of workspaces stacked along a stacking axis. The plurality of workspaces includes a second workspace stacked on the first workspace. At least one application is open in the first workspace or in the second workspace. The system also includes a detection module configured to detect at least one of a first inter-workspace swipe gesture and an intra-workspace swipe gesture. The navigation module is configured to display the second workspace in response to the first inter-workspace swipe gesture. The navigation module is configured to switch between features or applications of the at least one application in response to the intra-workspace swipe gesture.

Systems and methods for handling stackable workspaces

A computer-implemented method for adjusting sizes of attached windows is provided. The method includes attaching two or more windows to each other to form a common border shared by each of the two or more attached windows, and providing a resize area for simultaneously adjusting sizes of the two or more attached windows when a user input indicator is within a predetermined proximity to the common border. The method also includes and simultaneously adjusting the sizes of the two or more attached windows when the user input indicator moves into the resize area and a resize input is received based on the user input indicator that has moved into the resize area. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

Systems and methods for providing stackable workspaces on an electronic device are provided. A system includes a navigation module configured to display a first workspace of workspaces stacked along a stacking axis, and to display a navigation menu when the first workspace is displayed. The navigation menu comprises access points, each of which is associated with an application. The system includes a workspace module configured to open at least one of the applications in a second workspace stacked on the first workspace. The system includes a detection module configured to detect a second workspace scrolling command. The navigation module is configured to display the second workspace in response to the second workspace scrolling command. Displaying the second workspace comprises traversing the stack from the first workspace to the second workspace along the stacking axis. The navigation module is configured to display the navigation menu when the second workspace is displayed.

An input of a layout of one or more components in a container component is received and a new cross platform layout of the one or more components in the container component is generated. The cross platform layout includes at least one automatically sized autopad and/or container autopad that defines spacing to properly position the one or more components within the container component. The size of the autopad and/or container autopad is determined upon execution of the cross platform layout on a software platform using a visual guideline for that software platform. In some embodiments, some or all of the components are automatically positioned in the cross platform layout such that a contents of each of the components, such as text, is laid out within the container component along the same baseline.

Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for sending data from a process to an event dispatch thread for output, where the event dispatch thread handling events may be related to a user interface. The method may include the steps of providing the process. The process and the event dispatch thread executing independent of one another and the process generating a first method call during execution of the process and a final result upon completion of execution, where the first method call includes a partial result generated by the executing process. The method may further include sending the first method call, storing the first method, including coalescing the first method call with an existing method call, retrieving the partial result from the first method call, and outputting the retrieved first method call on the event dispatch thread such that the partial result is displayed to a user.

A browser-independent and automatic apparatus and method for receiving, installing, and launching applications from a browser is described. According to one embodiment, a helper application is registered with a browser for a specified file type. When the browser encounters a link to a metafile of the specified file type, the file is downloaded to the requesting system and the helper application is invoked to process the downloaded file. In the context of a Java&trade; implementation, the downloaded metafile comprises a short launch file specification for a Java&trade; application, and specifies a classpath as a set of Universal Resource Identifiers (&ldquo;URIs&rdquo;), a Java&trade; Runtime Environment (&ldquo;JRE&rdquo;) version, security considerations, and other relevant information concerning the Java&trade; application to be executed. According to aspects of the present invention, automatic installation of Java&trade; archive files (&ldquo;JAR files&rdquo;) and class files based on the URIs from which they are downloaded is implemented, automatic updates and versioning are supported without any central administration, and automatic installation of multiple JREs is facilitated. Embodiments of the present invention may also be used to facilitate other applications, such as launching Java&trade; applications directly from a browser without having to execute them within the browser, and to tie web contents to the appropriate corresponding viewer application.

According to aspects of the present invention, an original archive file having one or more entries is created, where each entry in the original archive file is itself a file, and where each entry in the archive file may comprise any file type, including an archive file. The original archive file is transmitted to a client computer. Subsequently, a target archive file is created, wherein one or more of the entries in the target archive file are typically expected to be identical to one or more entries in the original archive file. Given the original archive file and the target archive file, a difference archive file is created. The difference archive file comprises an index file describing the changes between the original archive file and the target archive file, and also comprises a set of entries corresponding to the entries in the target archive file that are not contained in the original archive file. The difference archive file is transmitted to the client computer, instead of requiring that the entire target archive file be transmitted. At the client computer, the difference archive file is applied to the original archive file to produce a synthesized archive file, wherein the synthesized archive file is functionally identical to the target archive file, and wherein each entry in the synthesized archive file is identical to a corresponding entry in the target archive file.
