ABSTRACT:
A method for arranging windows in a workspace on a computer display screen. The method includes the steps of assigning, using a central processing unit, a priority to each of a first plurality of windows in the workspace according a predefined criteria, a selected window having the highest priority. The method further includes the step of indenting by an indentation distance value from a reference position in the workspace on the computer display screen each of the first plurality of windows, the window having the lowest priority being positioned the closest to the reference position, the window having the highest priority being positioned the furthest from the reference position and in the visual foreground of the workspace on the computer display screen.
