Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0107996A1] In a graphical user interface including a display area (500) for displaying a number of windows (530-600), a method controlling the arrangement of the windows in the display area (500) comprises the steps of arranging the windows (530-600) in the display area (500) so that a predetermined part of each window is visible to a user. Upon a window gaining focus (590), the window is repositioned in the display area to be visible to the user; and the other windows are re-arranged so that at least a substantial portion of the predetermined part of each window remains visible to the user.
