Graphical user interface adaptable to multiple display devices

A method of controlling the operations of a computer program that is executed on a computer with at least one display device attached thereto, comprising the steps of:

• a. selecting a plurality of different usage scenarios;
• b. for each of said selected plurality of usage scenarios, preparing a corresponding GUI for use in operating said computer program, each of said GUIs being for use in connection with at least one of said usage scenarios;
• c. storing said GUIs and said computer program;
• d. executing said stored computer program;
• e. selecting one of said at least one attached display devices;
• f. determining a usage scenario for use with said selected display device;
• g. selecting a GUI from among said stored GUIs depending at least on said usage scenario for use with said selected display device;
• h. writing a representation of said selected GUI to said selected display device;
• and,
• i. operating said computer program through said selected GUI.

A method of controlling the operations of a computer program that is running on a computer with at least one display device attached thereto, comprising the steps of:

• a. selecting a first resolution and a second resolution, said second resolution being lower than said first resolution;
• b. preparing a first GUI for use in operating said computer program, said first GUI being for use at said first resolution;
• c. preparing a second GUI for use in operating said computer program, said second GUI being for use at said second resolution;
• d. storing said first GUI, said second GUI, and said computer program on computer readable media;
• e. executing said stored computer program;
• f. selecting one of said at least one attached display devices;
• g. determining a display resolution of said selected display device;
• h. selecting either said first GUI or said second GUI depending on said determined display resolution;
• i. writing a representation of said selected GUI to said selected display device;
• and,
• j. operating said program through said selected GUI.
