Lockable widgets on a mobile device
A software widget running on a user device may be designed to operate in a locked or an unlocked mode. In unlocked mode, the user has full interactivity with the widget. In locked mode, however, at least some of the interactivity with the widget is restricted, despite the fact that the widget still operates normally otherwise while in the locked mode. While in locked mode, user input may be compared against a predefined unlocking sequence to determine if the widget should be unlocked.
Highlight indicator-based screen transitions
An example image forming apparatus may include a display panel, a memory, and a processor connected to the memory and the display panel. The display panel may display a first screen including a highlight indicator and a menu having a menu option displayed in the highlight indicator. Further, the memory may include a screen transition module to receive a selection of the menu option. Further, the screen transition module may perform a screen transition from the first screen to a second screen that displays a submenu option in the highlight indicator. The submenu option is associated with the selected menu option.
