Abstract
Embodiments provide UI coalescing features that can be used in part to compensate for changes in device configurations, but the embodiments are not so limited. In an embodiment, a computer-based method operates to use UI coalescing features to adjust ribbon and/or popover controls to account for different device configurations. A handheld device of an embodiment can include one or more applications configured with UI coalescing heuristics that operate to dynamically adjust one or more ribbon controls and/or one or more popover controls based in part on a device configuration. Computer storage of an embodiment includes executable instructions that operate to dynamically adjust aspects of an application UI based in part on ribbon and popover control priority values. Other embodiments are included.
