Abstract: User-authored notes on shared documents may be provided. A shared document may be stored and at least one note may be associated with the document. When a user displays the document, the associated not may be retrieved and a user interface element may be provided to allow the user to view the note.

Abstract: A layer based reorganization of document components through a display application. Layers of a document are determined from content of the document which is partitioned based on a paragraph, a sentence, a line, a word, an image, and a similar section. In response to a detection of a user action to select and move one of the layers, non-selected layers from the layers are moved away from the selected layer while moving the selected layer in a direction of the user action during the user action. The selected layer is moved in a place of an adjacent layer from the non-selected layers that is in the direction of the user action.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for ensuring adequate contrast between colors used for graphical user interface elements. Pairs of colors for use in a given pair of graphical user interface elements are compared to determine whether a minimum required contrast exists between the colors. If a determination is made that the contrast between a given pair of colors is less than the minimum required contrast, one of the colors is designated as locked and the other color is designated as moveable. The moveable color is moved toward white or black to increase the relative brightness intensity and thereby increase the contrast between the moveable color and the locked color. Once the required minimum contrast is met or exceeded, the color pairing may be used for rendering a given graphical user interface element.
