Abstract
A system and process for providing adaptable controls to computing applications to facilitate interaction by an operator with displayable content. In a computer system running a computing application, it is advantageous to provide adaptable controls that have the ability to reflect content or feature preferences of operators of computing applications. These dynamic computing application controls cooperate with computing applications to provide additional features to the operator.
