ABSTRACT:
A graphical user interface control element. A computer system for interfacing with a user has a display device and a user input peripheral device for controlling a positioning element on the display device. The positioning element has a location and an active status corresponding to whether the positioning element is activated or not activated by the user. A control button is displayed on the display means, the control button having a three-dimensional appearance and at least first and second regions. The active status and location of the positioning element are monitored to determine whether a region of the control button is being pushed by the positioning device. The appearance of the control button on the display means is altered in accordance with the region being pushed by the positioning device so that the control button appears to be fitted toward the pushed region by the positioning device to provide graphical feedback to the user. A signal is generated in accordance with which region being pushed by the positioning device.
