Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a graphical user interface (GUI) that includes a gesture sensitive element. The gesture sensitive element can be used to display or hide different amounts of GUI control elements, reducing complexity until it is requested and increasing screen area available for content. By including a gesture sensitive element that can be used to invoke various actions and to provide a progressive level of controls, the number and complexity of elements shown in a GUI can be reduced, improving usability and reducing the number of interactions required to perform a desired action which reduces the processing required by the computer device.
