Abstract
A method (1500) and electronic device (100) for enhancing scrolling operations along a display (101) is disclosed. The method (1500) includes detecting (1501) that an event has occurred, altering (1502) the presentation of data elements (601,602) by introducing visible spatial separation (603) between the adjacent data elements (601,602) in response to detecting (1501) the event. Once the event has occurred, the spatial separation (603) can be removed. Where the event is reaching the end (701) of a list (502) in a scrolling operation, the method (1500) can include determining the list (502) is reaching the end (701) during the scrolling operation, introducing visible spatial separation (603), and removing the visible spatial separation (603) after the end (701) of the list (502) is reached.
