Abstract

User interfaces are designed simply, but with a great deal of flexibility by a set of bitmap graphic files. Color codes are predefined for use in a map graphic that specifies the position, size and functionality of control regions based on a correspondence between the color codes and a set of controls that an application program can generate in the user interface. A body graphic defines the overall appearance of the user interface within the size specified by the map graphic. Control graphics define the appearance of the control regions specified by the map graphic based on a predefined order of supplying different states of the control graphics for the control regions. Internal maps within the files containing control graphics may be used to add additional information regarding the size and shape of graphic elements that are displayed in a control graphic, such as the slider on a volume or gain slider control, or the width of characters in a variable pitch font.
