摘要

SUMMARY Systems, methods, and software for enhancing a content viewing experience on a computing device are disclosed herein. In one implementation, the application presents a user interface that includes a canvas and a navigation element. If selected, the navigation element exposes a navigation menu that includes various menu elements that can be selected to navigate to the corresponding feature menu. The application monitors activity in the user interface that affects the presence of a contextual menu element in the menu element for navigating to a contextual fit feature menu. When an activity occurs, the application modifies the appearance of the navigation element to indicate the presence of a context sensitive menu element.
