The window manager is a major subsystem in PowerUI. It creates self contained UI's, each called a window, which can be opened via a web API or via the window:// protocol.

Scope

The window manager is used for more than just typical "window" - it's designed to be used to describe any kind of self contained widget or component of a UI. For example, the dialogue system uses it to display speech and every context menu is also a window.

Templates

The visual appearance of a window is described by a window template. PowerUI has a few built in templates for different kinds of window. Ideally these templates can be shared or sold to maximize the value of the window manager.
