Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for converting a color icon into a glyph. In one aspect, a color icon associated with an application may be identified. The color icon may be converted to a dilated icon using a dilation function. A color edge only icon may be created using the color icon and the dilated icon. The color edge only icon may be converted to a gray edge only icon. An intensity of the gray edge only icon may be reduced to create a clipping edge only icon. The color icon may be converted to an alpha channel icon using an alpha channel. A dark glyph may be created using the clipping edge only icon and the alpha channel icon. A final glyph may be created by clipping an alpha value from and adding a constant value to the dark glyph.

Collaboration cards are provided to enable people to collaborate and receive instant replies to comments or questions from anywhere in a collaboratively generated document. A collaborator may add somebody's name to a collaboration card and ask that person for information, for example. That person may receive the question/comment via an email, a text message, a posting, or comparable communication methods, and respond back with the requested information through the same communication channel or another communication channel. The replied content may be placed into the collaboration card created in the document, and the original sender may be enabled to accept a change to the document content based on the collaboration card.
