  • Publication number: 20070143324
    Abstract: A user interface for a computer system provides an icon view of a workspace in which the appearance of individual icons therein reflect real time changes in the status of the objects they represent. When a computer is instructed to display an icon view of a workspace, the computer may determine the status of the objects within the workspace to determined, for example, whether they are locked. When rendering a display representing the workspace, the computer may use icons that represent not only the object's type but also its status within the network. Other embodiments provide for display of further object attributes in response to user command, for example, during a ‘mouse over’ in which the operator places a pointer over an icon.
