DISPLAY OF OCCLUDED DISPLAY ELEMENTS ON A COMPUTER DISPLAY

An apparatus, program product, and method define a portion of the window content information for a window as a prioritized display element that is displayed in a non-occluded region of a computer display in response to a determination that at least a portion of such a display element is occluded by another display element on the computer display. Also, an apparatus, program product and method manipulate multiple windows displayed on a computer display by moving a window in response to user input to move another window when it is determined that the movement of the other window would occlude at least a portion of the window. In addition, an apparatus, program product and method facilitate the selection of a subset from a set of information displayed on a computer by displaying a display representation of a set of information on a computer display, with a portion of the display representation occluded such that the display representation is partitioned into occluded and non-occluded regions. Then, in response to user input, a subset from the set of information that is represented by one of the occluded and non-occluded regions of the display representation is selected.
