Abstract:
Systems and methods for providing stackable workspaces on an electronic device are provided. A system includes a navigation module configured to display a first workspace of workspaces stacked along a stacking axis, and to display a navigation menu when the first workspace is displayed. The navigation menu comprises access points, each of which is associated with an application. The system includes a workspace module configured to open at least one of the applications in a second workspace stacked on the first workspace. The system includes a detection module configured to detect a second workspace scrolling command. The navigation module is configured to display the second workspace in response to the second workspace scrolling command. Displaying the second workspace comprises traversing the stack from the first workspace to the second workspace along the stacking axis. The navigation module is configured to display the navigation menu when the second workspace is displayed.
