Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer readable media for selectively placing an application into a reduced-priority rendering mode during system user interface (UI) operations are described. Techniques disclosed herein transition an executing (foreground) application from a synchronous render mode (having a first render priority) to an asynchronous render mode (having a second, lower, render priority) when the system moves from supporting execution of the application into displaying a system UI. In this new state, the application's UI display element (e.g., an icon or reduced size viewing window) may continue to be updated (e.g., in accordance with the lower render priority) but does not interfere with the system UI's responsiveness.
