1. A system comprising:
- one or processors;
one or more computer-readable storage media storing computer-executable instructions that are executable by the one or more processors to cause the system to perform operations comprising;
displaying a group of graphical representations of contacts at a first size in a display region of a graphical user interface (GUI);
receiving a selection of a subgroup of the graphical representations;
automatically resizing, responsive to receiving the selection of the subgroup, the graphical representations of the subgroup to fit in the display region of the GUI at a second size;
receiving a selection of one of the resized graphical representations; and
initiating a communication event with a contact represented by the one of the graphical representations.

Abstract
Techniques for displaying graphical representations of contacts are described. In accordance with one or more embodiments, a group of graphical representations of contacts is displayed at a first size in a display region. In response to a selection of a subgroup of the graphical representations, the subgroup of graphical representations is automatically resized to fit in the display region at a second size.

15. One or more computer-readable storage devices storing computer-executable instructions that are executable by one or more processors to cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
-
displaying a group of graphical representations of contacts at a first size in a display region of a graphical user interface (GUI) for a communications client; receiving a selection of a subgroup of the graphical representations; automatically resizing, responsive to receiving the selection of the subgroup, the graphical representations of the subgroup to fit in the display region of the GUI at a second size such that each of the graphical representations in the resized subgroup is selectable to initiate a communication event with a contact represented by a respective graphical representation. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
