A portable electronic device ( 10 ) can include a user interface ( 12 ) enabling the representation of a characteristic of an application using a user perceptible representation of the application on a presentation device ( 14, 18 or 20 ) and a processor ( 15 ) coupled to the presentation device. The processor can be programmed to enable the selection ( 102 ) of a menu containing a representation of the application and non-textually vary ( 104 ) the user perceptible representation of the application based on a change in a characteristic of the application from an initial state of the application. The characteristic can be a frequency of use of the application or a power consumption measure of the application. Note, the portable electronic device can be any number of devices including, but not limited to a cellular phone, a camera phone, a video phone, a PDA, a two-way radio, a messaging device, or a laptop computer for example.
