Abstract
Embodiments relate to methods and systems for rendering display of a cursor at a progressive offset that is a function of distance traveled from an initial point of contact on a touch screen. One such example embodiment, first, identifies contact with a screen of a touch screen device. Next, movement of the identified contact through a succession of positions on the screen is detected. Then, in response to detecting the movement of the identified contact, display of a cursor is rendered in a graphical user interface (GUI) on the screen of the touch screen device at an offset distance away from current position of the contact where, the offset distance is proportional to length traveled of the detected movement.
