description A method, system and computer program product for expanding the touch zones of graphical user interface (GUI) widgets. The coordinates of the screen location of the device (e.g., mobile device) where a GUI widget is displayed on the screen is captured in response to detecting the GUI widget being displayed on the screen. A list of objects, including GUI widgets, that are currently being displayed on the screen and corresponding screen location coordinates are obtained. A GUI widget is then identified from the list of objects by matching its screen location coordinates with the captured location coordinates. An algorithm to expand the touch zone (e.g., in a right-to-left alternation) of the GUI widget is then identified based on the type of widget (e.g., list) is the identified GUI widget. In this manner, the user is able to expand the touch zones of GUI widgets in an easy manner.
