System and method for manipulating toolbar component dimensions
First Claim
1. In a computer system including a display and at least one user input device, a method for manipulating the dimensions of a toolbar, wherein the toolbar includes one or more toolbar components including a graphical representation and a textual representation and wherein the toolbar is associated with at least one reference attribute, the method comprising:
- obtaining user input corresponding to a modification of a dimension of the toolbar;
obtaining a current reference attribute value for the toolbar corresponding to the modification;
if the current reference attribute value for the toolbar is between a maximum size threshold and a first threshold, adjusting dimensions of the graphical representation of each toolbar component relative to the modified dimension of the toolbar while maintaining the relative position of the toolbar components to each other and displaying the toolbar such that the adjusted graphical representation and the textual representation of each toolbar component is displayed;
if the current reference attribute value for the toolbar is between the first threshold and a second threshold, adjusting dimensions of the graphical representation of each toolbar component relative to the modified dimension of the toolbar while maintaining the relative position of the toolbar components to each other and displaying the toolbar such that the adjusted graphical representation but not the textual representation of each toolbar component is displayed; and
if the current reference attribute value for the toolbar is between the second threshold and a base threshold, fixing the dimensions of the textual representation of each toolbar component relative to the modified dimension of the toolbar while maintaining the relative position of the toolbar components to each other and displaying the toolbar such that the textual representation but not the graphical representation of each toolbar component is displayed.

Abstract
A system and method for manipulating toolbar dimensions are provided. Each toolbar includes a number of toolbar components having a textual representation and a graphic representation. As the toolbar dimensions are adjusted, a first size threshold defines when to adjust the graphic representation while maintaining the text representation, a second size threshold defines when to omit the textual representation and adjust the graphic representation and a third size threshold determines when to omit the graphic representation and fix the textual representation.
