Abstract
A method and an apparatus for adjusting a display area of a user interface, and a recording medium using the same are provided. In this method, a first user interface and a second user interface are displayed on a touch screen of a portable electronic device. The first user interface is located in a first direction side of the second user interface and the second user interface is located in a second direction side of the first user interface. Then, the touch screen detects a touch signal. When the touch signal is moved toward the first direction, the display area of the second user interface is enlarged. When the touch signal is moved toward the second direction, the display area of the first user interface is enlarged. Accordingly, the size of the display area of the first and the second user interface can be adjusted by the user.
