Abstract
An electronic device displays a system user interface element that indicates a location for performing a gesture that triggers a system operation, a first application having a first set of behaviors associated with the element, and a second application having a different, second set of behaviors associated with the element. The first and second applications are both displayed along an edge of the display; the element overlaps the first application without overlapping the second application; and an appearance of the element is determined based on the first set of behaviors. The device detects an input corresponding to a request to resize the second application; and, in response, resizes the second application in accordance with the input and, if the element overlaps the second application without overlapping the first application, changes the appearance of the element to an appearance based on the second set of behaviors associated with the element.
