Abstract
One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for layering content objects for a user interface are provided. For example, a z-axis is defined for the user interface. A set of layers are defined along positions of the z-axis. Content objects, such as images, text, or other user interface elements, are ranked and assigned to layers based upon such ranks. The user interface is rendered on a display of a computing device, such that content objects of layers below a current layer are not displayed. In response to receiving user input for a currently displayed content object, the user interface is modified to display content objects of a layer that is below the current layer along the z-axis.
