DA9-91-053 ABSTRACT The method of the present invention allows direct user management of the display of a plurality of objects, particularly opened windows, on the display surface of a computer monitor. At least one window is identified by the user for priority display at user selected times. The computer system generates a priority ordering for the opened windows, including from time-to-time, the window identified for priority display, independent of identification of a window for priority display. Responsive to the current ordering the computer assigns a display space on the display surface to at least the first window in the ordering. Windows lower in the ordering receive assignment of display space to the extent display space is available. Responsive to user initiated action, the computer will temporarily assign display space to the window identified for priority display notwithstanding a possibly lower priority ordering to other overlapping windows. Such overlapping windows as have previously been assigned display space are altered in appearance to avoid obscuration of the identified window. Direct manipulation of the altered windows is blocked subject to release of the user initiated action.
