Abstract
A technique for improving application window displays in a multi-window graphical user interface in a touch-based computing device is discussed. By selecting an application window or corresponding thumbnail icon in a multi-window graphical user interface using a finger touch and dragging the application window or icon to an edge of the screen indicated by another finger, the edge of the selected application window may be automatically aligned with respect to that screen edge. Additionally, already open application windows may be automatically re-sized and re-positioned to accommodate the newly re-sized application window.
