Abstract

A technique is provided for adapting or 'relegending' interface device views. The views include static content and dynamic content. At least a part of the static content defined a look and feel of the interface screens, including screens in a design-time environment and a run-time environment. The adaptable static content may be loaded as bitmaps, JPEG files, and so forth, such as in HTML standard style sheets. The static content may be changed for various original equipment manufacturers, applications, and so forth, while allowing dynamic content to vary depending upon the software and application running on the interface device.
