Abstract
Provided are systems and methods which generate and display a control overlay for user interface elements such as checkboxes and the like. The control overlay provides a larger selection area than an underlying user interface element. In one example, the method may include receiving a request associated with a user interface element from among a plurality of user interface elements displayed within a user interface, the user interface element comprising a selectable area, displaying a control overlay for the user interface element via the user interface, the control overlay being partially translucent and comprising a selectable area that is larger than and encompasses the selectable area of the user interface element, detecting an input command via the selectable area of the control overlay, and in response to the detection of the input command, selecting the user interface element displayed via the user interface.
