Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for interfacing with a user of a computer system. In one implementation, a method is provided that comprises providing a tabstrip controller to display different components of an application in a display, wherein in the display the components are displayed at once as a plurality of tabs in a tabstrip. Further, the method may include controlling the tabstrip to allow at least one tab to be removed from the tabstrip and, optionally, to be displayed in a separate display entity, e.g., a free-floating or docked window. Embodiments of the invention further relate to a user interface for interfacing a user with a computer system and to a computer system arranged to generate a user interface. Embodiments consistent with the invention also relate to a computer program product and an article of manufacture.
