Adapting a user interface responsive to screen size adjustment

A method, comprising:

• presenting, by a device, a content element on a display screen that is in a first size configuration;
• detecting, by the device and based at least in part on presenting the content element, adjustment of a physical size of the display screen from the first size configuration to a second size configuration;
• determining, by the device and based at least in part on detecting adjustment of the physical size of the display screen, that a first contiguous area of a padding region of the display screen that borders the content element and is unoccupied by the content element is sufficient to contain one or more user interface (UI) elements associated with the content element;
• and
• presenting, by the device and based at least in part on determining that the first contiguous area of the padding region is sufficient, the one or more UI elements and the content element on the display screen.

A system, comprising:

• one or more memories;
• and
• one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:
• present a content element on a display screen that is in a first size configuration;
• detect, based at least in part on presenting the content element, adjustment of a physical size of the display screen from the first size configuration to a second size configuration;
• determine, based at least in part on detecting adjustment of the physical size of the display screen, that a contiguous area of a padding region of the display screen that borders the content element and is unoccupied by the content element is sufficient to contain one or more user interface (UI) elements associated with the content element;
• and
• present, based at least in part on determining that the contiguous area of the padding region is sufficient, the one or more UI elements and the content element on the display screen.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions, the set of instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a device, cause the device to:
• present a content element on a display screen that is in a first size configuration;
• detect, based at least in part on presenting the content element, adjustment of a physical size of the display screen from the first size configuration to a second size configuration;
• determine, based at least in part on detecting adjustment of the physical size of the display screen, that a contiguous area of a padding region of the display screen that borders the content element and is unoccupied by the content element is sufficient to contain one or more user interface (UI) elements associated with the content element;
• and
• present, based at least in part on determining that the contiguous area of the padding region is sufficient, the one or more UI elements and the content element on the display screen.
