Abstract:
1. A method comprising: identifying a movement event for moving content within a display area; displaying a location indicator at a first content location in the content within the display area in response to identifying the movement event, the location indicator (i) having a first state of a visual representation configured to allow a user to view content associated with the first content location and (ii) identifying that the first content location is to remain visible on the display area in response to the movement event, wherein the first content location is capable of being user-specified or system-specified; during movement of the content within the display area, providing corresponding movement of the location indicator with the first content location as the first content location moves within the display area and changing the location indicator from the first state to a second state of visual representation that is higher contrast than at least one other location within the display area during movement of the content, the location indicator in the second state of visual representation being automatically sized to represent an amount of content to be retained within the display area after movement of the content within the display area is complete; and changing the location indicator from the second state to a third state of visual representation that is an off state in which the higher contrast is removed in response to determining the movement event is complete.
