ABSTRACT:
A method and system for customizing graphical user interface elements displayed within a graphic interface of a data-processing system and for customizing graphical user interface elements, such as menus displayed within a graphic interface of a data-processing system. Each menu has a series of menu items, such that a selection of a particular item triggers a standard course of action associated with the menu item. The standard course of action can be initiated in response to a normal selection of a particular menu item. An alternative selection technique, recognizable by the data-processing system, is defined to support customization of the selected menu items associated with the selected menu. The alternative selection technique is utilized to initiate an alteration to a menu item selected by a user. The alternative selection technique can be initiated by a particular combination of keystrokes and/or user input derived from a pointing device. Utilization of the alternative selection technique enables a user to modify words, picture, location, or visibility associated with a selected menu choice, or other graphical user interface elements.
