1. A computer-implemented method that facilitates organizing data within a display, comprising:

  • identifying items to be or already are displayed on a window of the display;

    automatically organizing the items via employment of predefined templates that define layout for the items within the window;

    automatically providing a prototypical structure for the window; and

    providing a template component that provides gestures such that separate components of the prototypical structure are selectively expanded to focus, the entire prototypical structure is selectively expanded, both selectively maintaining a cleaned up structure, isomorphic in layout to a minimized structure, and selectively returned to a last state.
