Abstract

See full text

A system and method for displaying property information, such as time or size information, on a display without displaying the textual column for these properties. The method compares predetermined properties of an item to a threshold value and assigns varying display indicators to the items based on the item's properties. The varying display indicators, such as colored fonts, have a variable quality such that as the relative properties for the item change, the variable indicator may also change accordingly. Additionally, the system and method updates the threshold value and the assigned variable visual indicators so the display characteristics change as the value changes. Thus, information is displayed to the user based on relative properties of the item without displaying explicit text.
