ABSTRACT:
In a data processing system, a plurality of user interface objects related into groups are displayed on a desktop; when the user selects one object, such selected object is highlighted on the desktop. The objects related to the selected object are then highlighted using a different intensity. The color of the titlebar of each window in addition may be changed associating a different color to each of such groups of related objects. A pushbutton is also provided on such objects for bringing the related objects to the foreground and moving them near to the selected object.
