Abstract

A dynamic recording including transition information is provided. Transition behavior of a graphical user interface (GUI) element on a display of an electronic device, such as a mobile terminal, is defined responsive to the dynamic recording. For example, in some embodiments of the present invention, the dynamic recording may be generated responsive to a sensor of the electronic device, such as an audio sensor, a video sensor and/or a motion sensor. The GUI transition behavior may include, for example, a window transition behavior, a menu transition behavior and/or a dialog transition behavior. The defined GUI transition behavior may include, for example, movement, metamorphosis, shape transition behavior and/or color transition behavior. Apparatus and computer program products configured to perform such operations are provided.
