7. A method for controlling multiple properties of an electronic device'"'"'s display by using a single touch gesture, the method comprising:
-
responsive to detecting a touch gesture in a predetermined region of the display, entering by the electronic device into a primary adjustment mode, wherein the electronic device is configured to use the touch gesture as a basis for changing a first property of the display when the electronic device is in the primary adjustment mode; and while the touch gesture is being performed, and responsive to detecting that the touch gesture possesses a predetermined characteristic, exiting the primary adjustment mode and entering a complementary adjustment mode by the electronic device, wherein the electronic device is configured to use the touch gesture as a basis for changing a second property of the display when the electronic device is in the complementary adjustment mode. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. An apparatus comprising:
-
a display; and a processor configured to; responsive to detecting a touch gesture in a predetermined region of the display, enter into a primary adjustment mode, wherein the processor is operable to use the touch gesture as a basis for changing a first property of the display when the processor is in the primary adjustment mode; and while the touch gesture is being performed, responsive to detecting that the touch gesture possesses a predetermined characteristic, exit the primary adjustment mode and enter a complementary adjustment mode, wherein the processor is operable to use the touch gesture as a basis for changing a second property of the display when the processor is in the complementary adjustment mode. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
