  • Patent number: 11302284
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for enhancing the aesthetics of user interfaces. In an implementation, a method comprises a computing apparatus receiving a command to transition a user interface to a focus assist mode. In response to the command, the computing apparatus changes an aesthetic of components of the user interface from a light aesthetic to a dark aesthetic. The method continues with receiving a subsequent command to focus on one or more of the components, in response to which the computing apparatus changes the aesthetic of the one or more of the components from the dark aesthetic to the light aesthetic, thereby allowing a user to focus on the lightened aspects of the interface.
