Abstract

The models of a scaled down window and of a window with variable scale are presented, as far as their practical implementation for Unix-like systems as the Compiz window manager extension modules. An implementation specific is provided for the X Window System environment. Changes in the original window are dynamically mapped to the compressed image due to hardware-accelerated OpenGL backend. The concept is especially usefid for portable devices with reduced screen resolution as it makes them effectively running software originally designed for desktop computers.
