ABSTRACT
Although the HCI research community has contributed a number of metaphors, interaction techniques and layout algorithms to improve window management tasks, most of these ended as prototypes and only a few were implemented in real window managers. In this paper, we present Ametista, a mini-toolkit designed to facilitate the exploration of new window management techniques using both low-fidelity prototyping and a high-fidelity approach based on X Window application redirection.

Controlling information display in larger pixel spaces: a study of window snipping by multiple-monitor users
ACM SE '10: Proceedings of the 48th Annual Southeast Regional ConferenceWe evaluate snip, a region-based window operation, in the context of multiple-monitor usage. Snip allows users to restrict the view of any window to a specified subregion. For example snip is suitable for displaying appropriate reference information, a ...
