1. A computer-implemented method for collapsing a dialog window of an application, comprising: displaying a complete dialog window of a currently active application on a display device; determining a location of a cursor with respect to the dialog window; displaying a collapsed version of the dialog window when the cursor moves outside of the complete dialog window, wherein the collapsed version of the dialog window consumes a smaller area of the display device than the complete dialog window; and displaying the complete dialog window when the cursor moves within the collapsed version of the dialog window.
