Scroll end effects for websites and content

A system for providing a visual cue of overscrolling displayed content, the system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising instructions stored therein, which when executed by the processors, cause the processors to perform operations comprising:
• displaying, on a device display, a window having a window control portion, a browser control portion and a content portion, wherein the content is scrollable;
• determining that the displayed scrollable content is scrolled to an endpoint in a first direction;
• receiving a user input to scroll the scrollable content further in the first direction;
• and
• displaying a visual cue that the user input is attempting to exceed the endpoint of the scrollable content, wherein the visual cue comprises moving the browser control portion and the content portion in a second direction, the second direction being opposite the first direction, wherein browser control elements in the browser control portion and content in the content portion are shifted in the second direction without distortion;
• if the second direction is towards the window control portion, the distance between the browser control elements and an outer border of the window control portion is decreased, wherein the visual cue further comprises contracting the window control portion, moving the browser control portion into the window control portion and expanding the content portion;
• and
• if the second direction is away from the window control portion, the distance between the browser control elements and the outer border of the window control portion is increased.

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising machine readable instructions for causing a processor to execute a method for providing a visual cue of overscrolling displayed content, the method comprising:

• displaying, on a device display, a window having a window control portion, a browser control portion and a content portion, wherein the content is scrollable;
• determining that the displayed scrollable content is scrolled to an endpoint in a first direction;
• receiving a user input to scroll the scrollable content further in the first direction;
• displaying a visual cue that the user input is attempting to exceed the endpoint of the scrollable content, wherein the visual cue comprises keeping the window control portion static and moving the browser control portion and the content portion in a second direction, wherein browser control elements in the browser control portion and content in the content portion are shifted in the second direction without distortion;
• if the second direction is towards the window control portion, the distance between the browser control elements and an outer border of the window control portion is decreased, wherein the visual cue further comprises contracting the window control portion, moving the browser control portion into the window control portion and expanding the content portion;
• and
• if the second direction is away from the window control portion, the distance between the browser control elements and the outer border of the window control portion is increased.
