A computing device is described that outputs for display at a presence-sensitive screen a lock screen graphical user interface. The lock screen graphical user interface includes a widget region and an unlock region. The widget region includes a widget and an overlay that at least partially obscures the widget. The computing device receives an indication of a user input and determines a characteristic of the user input. In response to determining that the determined characteristic satisfies a threshold, the computing device removes the overlay from the widget region.
