Abstract
Techniques described herein relate to media playback controller interfaces, interface layouts, and interactions for facilitating navigation and control. An example implementation may includes causing a touch-screen graphical display to display a control interface comprising (i) a first tab and a second tab separated by a first distance, (ii) a first information window at a position between the first tab and the second tab, the displayed first information window not overlapping the first tab and the second tab, and (iii) content associated with the first tab in the first information window. The implementation further involves receiving, via the touch-screen graphical display, data representing a touch input on the touch-screen graphical display, and in response to the touch input, modifying the displayed control interface to (a) display the first tab and the second tab separated by a second distance shorter than the first distance (b) no longer display the first information window.
