Provided are graphical user interface 'baskets' that hold collections of windows on a large display (or collection (or array) of small displays) and confine respective windows into a particular screen region (that is, basket) as if that screen region (that is, basket) were the entire display. In one example, the basket layout(s) and window layout(s) may be saved. In another example, multiple windows may be organized/managed such that a 'maximize' of a window does not take up the entire large display.
