Abstract:
Examples of techniques for creating free-form contour regions on a display are disclosed. In one example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a computer-implemented method includes displaying, by a processing device, a first application on a display of a processing system. The method further includes receiving, by the processing device, an input from a user to define a free-form contour region on the display. The method further includes creating, by the processing device, the free-form contour region on the display based at least in part on the input. The method further includes displaying, by the processing device, a second application on the display of the processing system within the free-form contour region while continuing to display the first application on a remaining portion of the display of the processing system that does not include the free-form contour region.
