Zusammenfassung:	A method and apparatus for transitioning between screen presentations on a display of an electronic device includes determining a selection by a user of the electronic device of one of a plurality of dynamic transition themes, detecting an event that causes a transition from a current screen presentation to a replacement screen presentation, and applying the selected dynamic transition theme to the dynamic transition when it is in a set of allowed dynamic transitions. Each dynamic transition theme defines a manipulation of a plurality of manipulable objects that are in any dynamic transition in the allowed set of dynamic transitions. Each dynamic transition consists of a current screen presentation and replacement screen presentation and comprises a plurality of manipulable objects. The manipulations are performed according to a pattern defined by the dynamic transition theme. The set of allowed dynamic transitions includes substantially all dynamic transitions.
