1. A graphical user interface for a computer system, comprising:
- an item interface in which at least two items can be listed and operable between an expanded state and a collapsed state, a collapse control for bringing the item interface into a collapsed state in which dimensions of the item interface are partially reduced with respect to the expanded state and at least some of the items are not visible; and
an expand control for bringing the item interface from a collapsed state into the expanded state.

Abstract
A graphical user interface includes a graphical user interface, which includes an item interface in which at least two items can be listed. In an expanded state, the item interface has a collapse control for bringing the item interface in a collapsed state in which the dimensions of the item interface are partially reduced and at least some of the items are not visible. In a collapsed state, the item interface has a expand control for bringing the item interface into the expanded state.

12. A method for manipulating an item interface in a graphical user interface of a computer device, the item interface having a list of at least two items, the method comprising:
-
reducing the dimensions of the item interface when the item interface is in an expanded state and bringing the item interface into a collapsed state in which the dimensions of the item interface are partially reduced and at least some of the items are not visible; and
increasing the dimensions of the item interface when the item interface is in the collapsed state to bring the item interface into the expanded state.

13. A computer program product, comprising program code portions for, when run on a programmable apparatus, performing steps of a method comprising:
-
reducing the dimensions of the item interface when the item interface is in an expanded state and bringing the item interface into a collapsed state in which the dimensions of the item interface are partially reduced and at least some of the items are not visible; and
increasing the dimensions of the item interface when the item interface is in the collapsed state to bring the item interface into the expanded state.

14. An article of manufacture with a computer usable medium having computer readable instructions embodied therein for providing access to resources available on that computer, the computer readable instructions comprising instructions to cause the computer to perform the steps of a method comprising:
-
reducing the dimensions of the item interface when the item interface is in an expanded state and bringing the item interface into a collapsed state in which the dimensions of the item interface are partially reduced and at least some of the items are not visible; and
increasing the dimensions of the item interface when the item interface is in the collapsed state to bring the item interface into the expanded state.
