A method for displaying icons of a graphical user interface on a display screen of a device (e.g., a wireless or other device), comprising: receiving a signal indicating a selected number of the icons to be displayed; comparing the selected number to a current number of the icons to be displayed; changing a size of an underlay for at least one of the icons if the selected number is not equal to the current number; and, displaying icons corresponding to the selected number on the display screen.

Configurable icon sizing and placement for wireless and other devices

A mobile wireless communications device may include a housing, a wireless transceiver carried by the housing, and a display carried by the housing. The mobile wireless communications device may further include a non-visual indicator carried by the housing, and an orientation sensor carried by the housing. A controller may be carried by the housing, and coupled to the wireless transceiver and the display to perform at least one mobile wireless communications function. The controller may also be switchable to a stabilization mode to activate the non-visual indicator based upon the orientation sensor sensing relative angular movement beyond a threshold.
