DYNAMIC ICON RECOLORING TO IMPROVE CONTRAST

摘要

Technologies for dynamic recoloring of graphical elements on a user interface are described. In some examples, upon detecting a theme change that causes darker backgrounds on an application user interface, icons and/or other graphical elements on the user interface may be dynamically recolored based on a darkness (or lightness) of the new background, a location on the user interface, and a type of the icon or graphical element. Pixels of the icon or graphical element may be adjusted for hue, saturation, and/or luminance to increase the icon's contrast. In other examples, certain icons or graphical elements may be exempted from recoloring, for example, those with brand colors. In further examples, white or black glyphs may be created to represent the icons or graphical elements if contrast change by recoloring is determined to be insufficient for a satisfying user experience.

1. A method for dynamic recoloring of a graphical element, the method comprising:
detecting a background change in a portion of a displayed user interface; for the graphical element displayed on the portion of the displayed user interface, selecting one or more pixels to be adjusted; recoloring the graphical element by adjusting one or more parameters of the selected one or more pixels to enhance a contrast of the graphical element against the background change; and enabling rendering of the recolored graphical element on the displayed user interface, wherein the one or more parameters are adjusted at a graphical element level.
