Fine-grained control of z-order elements in a presentation

A mobile device, comprising:

• means for receiving a plurality of user interface elements having a predetermined z-order, wherein the plurality of user interface elements comprises a first raised user interface element and a plurality of non-raised user interface elements;
• means for rendering each of the plurality of non-raised user interface elements at a display according to the predetermined z-order while skipping the first raised user interface element;
• and
• means for rendering the first raised user interface element, after the non-raised user interface elements;
• and
• wherein the first raised user interlace element is assigned to a first raisedcontainer element, a second raised user interface element is assigned to a second raisedcontainer element, and wherein either the first raisedcontainer element or the second raisedcontainer element is a raised, raisedcontainer element.

A mobile device, comprising:

• a memory;
• a display;
• and
• a processor, wherein the processor is operable to:
• receive from the memory a plurality of user interface elements having a predetermined z-order, wherein the plurality of user interface elements comprises a first raised user interface element and a plurality of non-raised user interface elements;
• render at the display each of the plurality of non-raised user interface elements at a display according to the predetermined z-order while skipping the first raised user interface element;
• render at the display the first raised user interface element, after the non-raised user interface elements;
• and
• wherein the first raised user interface element is assigned to a first raisedcontainer element, a second raised user interface element is assigned to a second raisedcontainer element, and wherein either the first raisedcontainer element or the second raisedcontainer element is a raised, raisedcontainer element.

A computer program product, comprising:

• a computer-readable storage medium, comprising:
• at least one instruction for receiving a plurality of user interface elements having a predetermined z-order, wherein the plurality of user interface elements comprises a first raised user interface element and a plurality of non-raised user interface elements;
• at least one instruction for rendering each of the plurality of non-raised user interface elements at a display according to the predetermined z-order while skipping the first raised user interface element;
• at least one instruction for rendering the first raised user interface element, after the non-raised user interface elements;
• and
• wherein the first raised user interface element is assigned to a first raisedcontainer element, a second raised user interface element is assigned to a second raisedcontainer element, and wherein either the first raisedcontainer element or the second raisedcontainer element is a raised, raisedcontainer element.
