Abstract

In an example embodiment, a first graphical layer having a plurality of edges is rendered in a graphical user interface, the first graphical layer including a first virtual button rendered at a default location and one or more pieces of information. Then a user input of selecting the first virtual button and moving the first virtual button to a new location other than the default location is detected. In response to the detecting, the new location is compared to each of the plurality of edges to determine a geometrically closest edge to the new location, and a second graphical layer is rendered on top of the first graphical layer, the second graphical layer abutting the geometrically closest edge to the new location.
