Abstract
Examples of the present disclosure describe application command control for small screen display. When detecting a display width associated with a processing device is equal to or less than a threshold value, the processing device launches an application command control programmed for display on small screens. The application command control interfaces with an application and comprises a plurality of top-level palettes and a plurality of drill-in palettes programmed for the application. A top-level palette for the application is vertically scrollable and comprises a collection of rows comprising one or more selectable command elements. A row of the one or more command elements of the top-level palette comprises a drill-in feature that when selected presents a drill-in palette. A drill-in palette is vertically scrollable and comprises one or more rows of selectable command elements.
