  • Patent number: 11379104
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for sharing user interface (UI) customization across applications. Application developers may create UIs (e.g., game control layouts) with control groups that may be customizable as a group. A control group may comprise a plurality of controls selectively assigned to cluster of sockets (e.g., a socket group) in a layout template. Controls in control groups may be customized as a group, for example, by changing a position, rotation and/or scale of a control group. Users can customize controls for comfort, switch controls for right and left-handed play and share customized preferences across applications. UI customization may be shared across applications with different UIs. For example, customization of one or more control groups in a first UI may be applied to one or more control groups in other UIs for other applications. Users may avoid tedious, time-consuming individual control changes for many UIs.
