Abstract
A method of modifying attributes of list elements in a layout space of the list as the list scrolls in a user interface is disclosed herein. The method comprises determining a series of location values of each list element for a duration of a scroll event. Additionally, for each list element, at each determined location value of that list element, the attributes of that list element are determined by evaluating a set of spline curves associated with that list element based on that location value. The list elements are re-rendered in accordance with the determined attributes for the duration of the scroll event.
