Visual appearance:
- Popup-window has a title-bar. Click on the titlebar and hold down the mouse to drag the window;
- There is a close button on the upper-right corner which closes the popup-window;
- Multiple popup-windows can be open at the same time;
- If one window is behind another, it can be brought to the top by clicking on it's title-bar;
