Abstract: A system for configuration of vehicle applications includes a display and a processor. The processor is programmed to provide, to the display, a user interface including an active application area configured to display an active application, and a dash card area adjacent the application area configured to display one or more dash cards, each dash card representative of a minimized application, responsive to a first selection of a resize control, increase a dimension of the active application area and decrease a dimension of the dash card area, and responsive to a second selection of the resize control, decrease the dimension of the active application area and increase the dimension of the dash card area.

Abstract: Touch input from a user may be selectively ignored. Responsive to receipt of touch input to a physical control, the physical control at least partially overlapping a touchscreen configured to display onscreen controls, a size of an exclusion zone surrounding the physical control may be increased from a default size to an enlarged size greater than the default size, the exclusion zone representing an area of the touchscreen within which touch input to the touchscreen is not passed to an application executed by the processor. Responsive to a lack of receipt of the touch input to the physical control, the size of the exclusion zone may be decreased from the enlarged size to the default size, allowing touch input to onscreen controls outside the default size of the exclusion zone to be passed to the application.
