Original Abstract Submitted

A method includes: displaying a first display region in a full-screen view that includes a first type of component displayed with a first set of display properties; detecting a first user input to display a second display region; and, in response to detecting the first user input: in accordance with a determination that the first user input corresponds to a request to display the second display region in the full-screen view, displaying the second display region in the full-screen view that includes the first type of component displayed with the first set of display properties; and in accordance with a determination that the first user input corresponds to a request to display the second display region in a partial-screen view, displaying the second display region in the partial-screen view that includes the first type of component displayed with a second set of display properties.
