Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: outputting, for display at a touchscreen display of a computing device, a background image; outputting, for display at a first edge region of the touchscreen display, signal strength and battery indicia; receiving, from the touchscreen display, an indication of a dragging input that contacts the touchscreen display and remains in contact with the touchscreen display while moving across a surface of the touchscreen display; in response to identifying that the dragging input moved from the first edge region of the touchscreen display, animating a panel to move across the touchscreen display and visually over the background image, wherein motion of the panel occurs in coordination with motion of the dragging input; determining that when the dragging input released from contact with the touchscreen display at a first location of release at least a determined distance from the first edge region, and in response and without further input with the touchscreen display, animating the panel to move from the first location of release of the dragging input towards a second edge region of the touchscreen display that is across from the first edge region of the touchscreen display; outputting, for display on the panel, text that describes one or more notifications of events; and determining that when the dragging input released from contact with the touchscreen display at a second location of release less than the determined distance from the first edge region, and in response and without further input with the touchscreen display, animating the panel to move from the second location of release of the dragging input back towards the first edge region and to disappear.
