A method for dynamically re-calculating and presenting a graphical user interface (GUI) that includes interface icons based on user context, includes, for a current user, determining a change in user context associated with the GUI. The method then modifies one of a state, appearance and spatial placement of the user interface icons within the GUI automatically, in accordance with a determined change in user context. The step of determining a change in user context may further include analyzing a set of contextual attributes associated with the user. For that matter, the step of determining is preferably automatically triggered by at least one factor from a group of factors, the group of factors including a) a creation date of a data item associated with the current user, b) a modification date of a data item associated with the current user, c) a last-accessed date of a data item associated with the current user, d) a type of a data item associated with the current user, e) a location of a data item associated with the current user, f) a category of a data item's content, the data item associated with the current user, g) a size of a data item, the data item associated with the current user, h) a source of a data item associated with the current user and i) a completeness of a data item associated with the current user.
