Abstract

Methods, systems, and graphical user interfaces are provided for navigating a calendar application executing on a computer system. Aspects of scrolling by day and scrolling by week are combined into a hybrid approach that includes advantages of both. For example, the week can be displayed with the current day first (e.g. in the left most column), thereby providing a more relevant view to a user. Then, when a user selects to move forward or backward, the next or previous full week (i.e. starting with a designated day, such as Sunday or Monday) can be displayed. And, when a user forward through the current day (or other selected day), the week view can stop with the selected day displayed first, to give a user a view of the next set of days following the selected day.
