Abstract
In a method for adjusting icons on a desktop, movable points of the icon are obtained and marked. A movable point can be selected and that point on the boundary of an icon can be moved inside or away from the icon. The move operation includes a move direction and a move distance. The shape and size of the icon is adjusted according to the move direction and the move distance, and as the size of an adjusted icon is increased, additional information from the represented application program, such as a list of unopened emails in an email program, can be obtained and displayed.
