  • Publication number: 20070168889
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method, system, and program product for indicating a state of a value of an application. Specifically, under the present invention a graphical state indicator is displayed for a property (e.g., background screen color) of an application. The graphical state indicator will indicate a “state” of a value of the property. That is, the graphical state indicator will indicate whether the value is a user-defined value, or is a default value. Under the present invention, a graphical state indicator can be provided for any property of the application. As such, multiple graphical state indicators may be simultaneously displayed. The present invention can also display a graphical value indicator for indicating the current value (e.g., blue) of the property (e.g., background screen color). This value can be changed based upon an interaction with the graphical value indicator by a user.
