Patent ID: 8302026

Claim:
A user interface provided by a computing device executing instructions, the user interface comprising: multiple panels to define separate and distinct workspaces; a first bar perpendicular to and intersecting with a second bar to demarcate the multiple panels, the first bar and the second bar being movable to alter sizes of the multiple panels such that movement of the first bar or the second bar enlarges a first panel while simultaneously reducing a second panel; and a bar navigation element comprising a plurality of actuation zones facilitating movement of the one or more bars to resize the panels to one of at least three preset positions in response to a single actuation event generated by a user conducing a single interaction with a one of the plurality of actuation zones, wherein a relative size of resized panels corresponds to a one of the at least three preset positions that corresponds to the one of the plurality of actuation zones with which the user interacted.
