  • Universal graphical user interface objects
    Patent number: 10628179
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed to provide graphical user interface (UI) elements that automatically change appearance according to system-wide global settings, such as a high contrast accessibility mode and/or a telemetry mode. The systems and methods enable such functionality by segregating program code for UI elements between presentation settings and functional logic. For instance, global HC color settings and/or global telemetry settings may be configured in an inheritable portion of an encoding for graphical UI elements. When system-wide mode changes are detected, such as selection of a high contrast theme and/or a telemetry mode, global HC color settings and/or global telemetry settings may automatically override custom settings for UI elements.
