1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

  • while an electronic device is in a first user-interface state, detecting progress towards satisfaction of a user input condition needed to transition to a second user-interface state;

    while the device is in the first user-interface state, indicating progress towards satisfaction of the condition by transitioning an optical intensity of one or more user interface objects associated with the second user-interface state without being associated with the first user interface state,wherein at least one of the one or more user interface objects associated with the second user interface state is not displayed prior to detecting progress toward satisfaction of the user input condition and,wherein transitioning the optical intensity includes the one or more user interface objects associated with the second user-interface state appearing and increasing in optical intensity; and

    transitioning the device to the second user-interface state if the condition is satisfied.
