Abstract
The present application discloses methods and devices that are used to improve the display of a progress indictor for a program, such as an audio/video player application. A progress indicator on a progress bar is often used for the indication of the progress of a program. There may also be one or more status indicators on the progress bar. When a user drags the progress indicator along or within the progress bar and passes one or more status indicators, the computer system displays an indicating image between the starting position and the drag position in the progress bar for a pre-defined period of time. The indicating image can be generated by combining a layer associated with the progress indicator and layers associated with one or more status indicators that are passed. The current method and device make the display of progress indictor more distinctive and improve user experience.
