  • Patent number: 9996365
    Abstract: A method, system, and/or computer program product formats a layout of an application graphical user interface (GUI). A description of a layout of an operating system (OS) GUI is received. The OS supports an application, and the layout of the OS GUI identifies positions of representations of OS features that are displayed on the OS GUI. The OS features are mapped to application features of the application that is supported by the OS. A layout of an application GUI for the application is formatted to mirror an appearance of the OS GUI, such that representations of the application features are displayed in a same relative position on the application GUI as representations of mapped-to OS features on the OS GUI.
