Abstract
An electronic device comprising a touchscreen and a light element may be operable to illuminate the light element in response to an event. In response to an input from a user of the electronic device, the electronic device may display on the touchscreen an animation of a graphical representation of the light element moving onto the touchscreen to a target location on the touchscreen. The graphical representation of the light element may share one or more characteristics with the light element. The characteristic(s) may indicate a contact, application, and/or operating system associated with the event.
