An application that generates a user interface includes multiple assets, such as icons, that are overlaid onto other user interface elements, such as tool bars, menus, windows, etc. The assets may be configured at runtime to match a user interface theme that utilizes specific colors, fonts, and styles. The application, at runtime, configures an asset to match the user interface theme by adjusting the luminosity of the pixels in the asset. A subset of pixels in the asset is matched to the color of a target background color by altering the luminosity of the subset of pixels in the asset to match the luminosity of the target background color. The luminosity of the remaining pixels is adjusted to match the theme.

Multi-faceted relationship hubs can support browsing an extensible set of relationship types from within a single tool window. A user can switch between relationship types within a single tool window without disrupting user flow by having to change context in a plurality of tool windows. Multiple instances of relationship hubs can be created. Browsing navigation history can be stored, allowing a user to maintain and reacquire relationship contexts. A user can preview the content of one or more files without opening the file.
