1. A computing device for interacting with graphical elements, comprising:

  • a user interface mechanism for presenting a user interface presentation on a display surface of the user interface mechanism, and for receiving input from a user when the user touches a touch-sensitive surface of the user interface mechanism; and

    a graphical element interaction component including;

    a graphical element presentation component configured to present a collection of graphical elements on the display surface, the collection being capable of being panned along a first axis of movement to reveal different parts of the collection of graphical elements;

    a selector presentation component configured to;

    detect that the user has engaged the touch-sensitive surface of the user interface mechanism to pan the collection of graphical elements along a second axis of movement; and

    in response to detecting engagement by the user with the touch-sensitive surface, present a selector mechanism on the display surface, the selector mechanism providing a plurality of attribute value options, and the selector mechanism appearing as spatially proximate to the collection of graphical elements on the display surface; and

    an attribute value selection processing component configured to receive a selection by the user of one of the attribute value options, to provide a selected attribute value, in response to engagement by the user with the selector mechanism via the touch-sensitive surface,the graphical element presentation component having a global setting component that is configured to modify at least a subset of the graphical elements in the collection based on the selected attribute value, and to display graphical elements that have been modified on the display surface.
