Standardizing user interface elements

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• identifying a first application having a higher use metric than a second application;
• querying the first application to determine whether the first application includes one or more user interface elements having a predetermined identifier;
• determining respective locations of the one or more user interface elements that are displayed as part of the first application;
• generating a profile for the user, the profile indicating the respective locations of the one or more user interface elements that are displayed as part of the first application;
• querying the second application that is used less frequently than the first application to determine whether the second application includes the one or more user interface elements;
• and
• modifying, in response to the second application including the one or more user interface elements, locations of one or more user interface elements with matching predetermined identifiers as part of a second application based on the respective locations indicated in the profile, wherein one or more of the user interface elements are associated with a predetermined function.

A machine-readable memory storing executable instructions thereon, which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations including:

• identifying a first application having a higher use metric than a second application;
• querying the first application to determine whether the first application includes one or more user interface elements having a predetermined identifier;
• determining respective parameters of the one or more user interface elements that are displayed as part of the first application, the respective parameters including at least locations of the respective one or more user interface elements;
• generating a profile for the user, the profile indicating the respective parameters of the one or more user interface elements;
• querying the second application that is used less frequently than the first application to determine whether the second application includes the one or more user interface elements;
• and
• modifying parameters of one or more user interface elements that are part of the second application using the respective parameters indicated in the profile, said modifying comprising modifying at least locations of the one or more user interface elements that are part of the second application, wherein one or more of the user interface elements are associated with a predetermined function.
