1. A method for value specification in a responsive interface control, the method comprising:
- displaying the interface control in a section of a user interface on a display device, wherein the interface control is an interactive interface element configured to set an interface value; and
detecting a size of the section of the user interface; and
automatically setting an interface control mode by selecting one of a plurality of predetermined interface control modes to specify an appearance of the interface control and a function of the interface control based on the size of the section of the user interface, wherein the interface control mode is configured to adjust dynamically through the plurality of predetermined interface control modes based on an adjustment of the size of the section of the user interface, and wherein the plurality of predetermined interface control modes comprising at least a first mode, a second mode, and a third mode, wherein the first mode comprises a first visual element not included in the second mode, the second mode comprises a second visual element not included in the first mode, and the third mode comprises the first visual element and the second visual element;
wherein the first mode comprises a slider mode, the second mode comprises a spin mode, and the third mode comprises a spin-slider mode;
wherein automatically setting the interface control mode further comprises setting the interface control to a spin-slider mode in response to determining that the size of the section of the user interface is between a slider threshold and a spin threshold;
wherein the interface control is configured to perform a slider function and a spin function to alter the interface value in the spin-slider mode, wherein the slider function comprises a slider element that is moveable by a user and the spin function comprises at least one roller positioned over a track of the slider element to facilitate a swiping motion to roll the at least one roller.
