Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for obtaining a content theme that includes a set of visual components and accessing control panels of a design system. The control panels are configured to provide control functions for adjusting attributes of the components. The control panels receive a selection of a first component that is linked to at least a second component in the set of visual components. An attribute of the first component is adjusted in response to detecting user interaction with a control panel. The user interaction causes adjustment of an attribute of a second component based on the adjusting of the attribute of the first component because of the second component being linked to the first component. Graphical content is created for output at a display based on the adjusted attributes of the first and second components.

Computer-implemented systems and methods are provided for analyzing and determining properties of virtual environments rendered on a display. The disclosed embodiments include, for example, a method for rendering a virtual environment, the method comprising operations performed with one or more processors. The operations of the method may include generating a plurality of object layers, the object layers representing permissible height values. The method may also include populating the environment with a plurality of objects, wherein each object is associated with a height value corresponding to one of the object layers. The method may also include determining whether any two objects form an occluded pair. The method may also include calculating a cast shadow index for each occluded pair reflecting a magnitude of a height differential between occluding object and the occluded object. The method may also include rendering the virtual environment in accordance with the calculated cast shadow indices.

Computerized systems and methods for layering content in a user interface

Computer-implemented systems and methods are provided for analyzing and determining properties of virtual environments rendered on a display. The disclosed embodiments include, for example, a method for obtaining, by one or more processors, one or more depth parameters comprising one or more display parameters reflecting characteristics of the display, wherein the display parameters include a height and width of the display, and one or more environment depth multipliers reflecting a scaling factor to optimize display performance. The method may also include calculating, by the one or more processors, a diagonal display distance based on the display parameters. The method may also include calculating, by the one or more processors, an environment depth based on the diagonal display distance and the one or more environment depth multipliers. The method may also include setting, by the one or more processors, the depth of the display equal to the environment depth.
