Screen design
Screens should have a depth gadget. If you have room, you should try not to obscure the screen depth gadget from view by opening windows that cover up the screen's depth gadget.
The screen your application opens on should open in front of any other screens that are open.
Screens that open larger than the display area should offer an auto-scrolling function.
Auto-scrolling
Applications that open screens larger than the display area should provide the ability to auto-scroll. Moving the mouse to any of the display bounds should automatically scroll the screen to show more information in that area.
Naming Your Public Screens
Public screens are identified by their name. To name a public screen, use your application's basename followed by an invocation count. The name should be in upper-case.
For instance, a terminal package with the basename Axelterm that opens its own public screen should name the screen AXELTERM.1. On a system with a multi-serial port card, the user may decide to run a second copy of the package. That second public screen should be named AXELTERM.2.
Some applications may use two screens during the same invocation of the program. For example, a paint program named VanGogh (with the basename VGOGH) may use one screen for the "canvas" and another screen with a different resolution for the control panel. In that case, the screens could be named VGOGHPAD.1 and VGOGHPANEL.1.
