1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- displaying a background component on a screen of an electronic device, the background component comprising a first image;
displaying one or more first content items on the screen, the first content items being part of a series of content items, and the first content items overlaying at least a portion of the background component; and
in response to a user input to move the first content items in a first direction across the screen,displaying a background animation sequence depicting a transition from the first image to a second image by displaying the first image fading out of the screen while the second image fades in;
displaying a content-item animation sequence depicting the first content items moving in the first direction off the screen while simultaneously depicting one or more second content items moving in the first direction onto the screen, wherein the second content items are part of the series of content items; and
displaying the second content items on the screen of the electronic device,wherein each of the second content items moves by simulating an effect of being attached to a simulated spring,wherein each simulated spring connects each second content item to a destination position on the screen, the destination position of each second content item being specific to that second content item,wherein a first distance of a first space between a first content item of the second content items and a second content item of the second content items is different from a second distance of a second space between the second content item of the second content items and a third content item of the second content items while the second content items move in the first direction onto the screen to the destination position, the first distance decreasing before the second distance decreases, andwherein the content-item animation sequence displays at least one second content item;
moving in the first direction a predetermined distance past a destination position associated with the at least one second content item, thenmoving in a second direction back to the destination position, the second direction being opposite of the first direction,wherein there are n of the first content items respectively displayed at n positions on the screen of the electronic device at the same time, andwherein the content item animation sequence depicts n of the second content items moving onto the screen toward the n positions, respectively, and moving into the n positions on the screen of the electronic device and replacing the n first content items, each of the destination positions corresponding to one of the n positions.
