ABSTRACT:
A display arrangement system and method are disclosed for arranging repositionable graphical representations corresponding to a set of computer resources. The display arrangement system includes a layout that specifies a criterion for arranging the repositionable graphical representations. The criterion specifies at least one arrangement rule based upon the content of the computer resources. The display arrangement system also includes a graphical display arrange processor that arranges the repositionable graphical representations by applying the criterion to their corresponding computer resources. The display system may be organized as one or more frames. Each frame designates a perimeter on the graphical user interface. Each frame also includes at least one filter property value for limiting the association of individual ones of the set of computer resources with the frame. An example of a particular filter value for a frame is a filter designating only "document" type computer resources will be associated with a particular frame. The display arrange processor applies the frame filter to the computer resources in order to determine whether corresponding repositionable graphical representations will be displayed within the perimeter on the graphical user interface designated by the frame.
