Abstract: A display space optimized form. The display space optimized form can include one or more user interface input controls individually selected to be collapsed by default when rendered in a GUI. The form further can include one or more user interface input controls individually selected to be expanded by default when rendered in the GUI. One or more twistie controls can be configured in a collapsed position. Specifically, each one of the twistie controls configured in a collapsed position can have an association with one of the user interface input controls individually selected to be collapsed. Finally, one or more twistie controls can be configured in an expanded position. In that regard, each one of the twistie controls configured in an expanded position can have an association with one of the user interface input controls individually selected to be expanded.

Abstract: User interfaces, methods, and computer program products can conserve space on a computer system screen by associating an icon with a plurality of operations. In an illustrative embodiment, an icon's visual appearance is used to associate the icon with a particular operation. In response to input from a user, the icon's appearance changes to indicate that the icon is now associated with an alternative operation. Thus, a graphical user interface (GUI) for operating a computer system can use a single icon to represent and provide access to a plurality of operations that otherwise may require several icons, which can consume valuable space on a computer system display or monitor. Therefore, the user interfaces, methods, and computer program products may be particularly useful in small computer systems, such as laptop computers, handheld computers, palmtop computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and pervasive computing devices.
