Abstract:
1. A method of maintaining a visual appearance of at least one window displayed on a screen when a resolution of the screen changes from a current screen resolution to a new screen resolution, comprising, when a change in a vertical resolution is similar to a change in horizontal resolution, generating only one of a vertical scaling factor and a horizontal scaling factor, the vertical scaling factor being generated by dividing said new vertical resolution by said current vertical resolution and the horizontal scaling factor being generated by dividing said new horizontal resolution by said current horizontal resolution; and sending to a window drawing module a window resize trigger comprising a single scaling factor, the single scaling factor being similar to the generated one of the horizontal scaling factor or the vertical scaling factor; wherein the single scaling factor is for generating new visual parameters by scaling current visual parameters, said new visual parameters for drawing the at least one window on the screen when the resolution changes from the current screen resolution to the new screen resolution, said window resize trigger triggering said drawing the at least one window on the screen using said new visual parameters when the resolution changes from said current screen resolution to said new screen resolution.
