Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a system, computer-readable medium and a method for transforming a color scheme. A processor is configured to retrieve from storage data including content elements defining a user interface screen in response to a user selection of a source color and a replacement color. For each content element of the user interface screen, a color of the content element is compared the source color. Based on the comparison, if the color of the content element falls within a predetermined threshold distance of the source color along a color palette, the color of the content element can be converting to the replacement color. After the processing of the content elements, the user interface is displayed on a display device, including the converted color element(s).

Claims (24)

1 - 11 . (canceled)

12 . A user interface conversion method, comprising:

responsive to a user selection of a source color and a replacement color, retrieving from storage data including content elements defining a user interface screen,

for each content element of the user interface screen, comparing a color of the content element to the source color,

if the color of the content element falls within a predetermined threshold distance of the source color along a color palette, converting the color of the content element to the replacement color, and

following processing of the content elements, displaying the user interface on a display device, including the converted color element(s).

13 . A user interface conversion method, comprising:

responsive to a user selection of a source color and a replacement color, retrieving from storage data defining a user interface screen,

for each content element of the user interface, comparing a color of the content element to the source color,

if the color of the content element falls within a predetermined threshold distance of the source color along a color palette, converting the color of the content element to the replacement color;

determining a distance vector separating the content element's color from the source color along the color palette,

converting the color of the content element to a new color based on the replacement color and distance vector, and

following processing of the content elements, displaying the user interface on a display device, including the converted color element(s).

14 . A system for transforming a color scheme of a user interface, comprising:

a server that provides a user interface screen to the client computer, wherein the user interface screen is defined by content elements; and

a client computer including a display device and an input device connected to the client computer, the client computer comprising a processor configured to:

in response to a user selection of a source color and a replacement color, retrieving from storage data including content elements defining a user interface screen,

for each content element of the user interface screen, comparing a color of the content element to the source color,

if the color of the content element falls within a predetermined threshold distance of the source color along a color palette, converting the color of the content element to the replacement color, and

following processing of the content elements, displaying the user interface on a display device, including the converted color element(s).

15 . A non-transitory machine-readable medium embodied with program instructions for causing a processor to execute the program instructions, the program instructions for transforming a color scheme of a user interface, comprising:

responsive to a user selection of a source color and a replacement color, retrieving from storage data including content elements defining a user interface screen, for each content element of the user interface screen, comparing a color of the content element to the source color,

if the color of the content element falls within a predetermined threshold distance of the source color along a color palette, converting the color of the content element to the replacement color, and

following processing of the content elements, displaying the user interface on a display device, including the converted color element(s).
