You are talking about the GUI (graphical user interface) and that depends on the distro you are using. If you are using Ubuntu (with gnome) you can play with compiz to change how the mouse and windows, and all that stuff behaves, if you are in a distro that uses kde, like kubuntu, slackware, etc you will have to look at kde window manager. Anyway read about window managers.
