Abstract

A display generating system, such as a mobile client computer system, in which a scroll bar is selectively deployed from a less active or "stored" position to a fully active or "extended" position. Deployment of the scroll bar may be by an animated process resembling an unrolling. By deploying the scroll bar only as required and requested by a user, the scroll bar may be enlarged for use and additional functions supported.
