Abstract
A method and device for enhancing scrolling operations in a display of a device is disclosed. The method includes detecting a scrolling operation on a list of objects in a linear direction. During the scrolling operation, it is determined whether the list of objects is reaching an end and at least one object at the end of the list of objects is extended in the linear direction in response to reaching the end of the list of objects. Further, the method includes determining that the object(s) is reaching a peak length of extension in the linear direction and retracting the object(s) in a reverse linear direction in response to reaching the peak length or in response to detecting that the scrolling operation is terminated.

21. A method comprising:
-
detecting a scrolling operation on a list of objects in a linear direction; in response to determining that the list of objects has reached an end during the scrolling operation, extending at least one object at the end of the list of objects in the linear direction by modifying a dimension of the at least one object; and in response to determining that the at least one object has been extended to a maximum length, retracting the at least one object in a reverse linear direction by again modifying the dimension of the at least one object. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)

32. A non-transitory machine readable medium embodying instructions that, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform a method comprising:
-
determining that a list of objects being scrolled is reaching an end of the list, wherein an object at the end of the list comprises content; and causing the content of the object at the end of the list of objects to stretch when the end of the list of objects is reached while being scrolled. - View Dependent Claims (33, 34, 35, 36, 37)
