1. A 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; and
transitioning the device to the second user-interface state if the condition is satisfied.

Abstract
In some embodiments of the invention, a graphical user interface in an electronic device includes one or more user-interface objects associated with a second user-interface state. While the device is in a first user-interface state, the one or more objects transition in optical intensity to indicate progress towards satisfaction of a user input condition needed to transition to the second user-interface state.
