An integrated wizard user interface displays information in an improved manner. Visual cues are selectively applied to a user interface panel, serving to de-emphasize the panel content presented in those portions. In preferred embodiments, the visual cues comprise translucent shading which “overlays” portions of the panel. The user's attention is thereby directed toward the non-shaded area, and guidance corresponding to the non-shaded area is presented for assisting the user in interacting with information in that area. The user can thereby receive guidance in the context of the same panel he will use later, when he does not require guidance.
