Claim Text:
1. A method for displaying content, the method comprising: receiving content that includes a plurality of subcomponents, the plurality of subcomponents including a subcomponent with a larger color surface than other ones of the plurality of subcomponents; rendering each of the plurality of subcomponents; darkening the subcomponent with the larger color surface so as to generate a darkened subcomponent; adjusting a contrast, relative to the darkened subcomponent, of selected ones of the plurality of subcomponents so as to enable the selected ones of the plurality of subcomponents to be viewed against the darkened subcomponent; leaving others of the plurality of subcomponents in their source format; compositing the darkened subcomponent, the selected ones of the plurality of subcomponents, and the others of the plurality of subcomponents that are in their source format into a composite view; determining an entire number of pixels of the composite view; determining a number of pixels of nonadjustable subcomponents so as to obtain a nonadjustable number of pixels; subtracting the nonadjustable number of pixels from the entire number of pixels to obtain a ratio reflecting an adjustable number of pixels; and determining an anticipated power load of the adjustable number of pixels, wherein the anticipated power load of the adjustable number of pixels is a power load of the adjustable number of pixels if the adjustable number of pixels were displayed with adjustable subcomponents in their source format; wherein the darkening the subcomponent with the larger color surface and the adjusting the contrast of the selected ones of the plurality of subcomponents is responsive to the anticipated power load of the adjustable number of pixels exceeding a threshold; and displaying the composite view.
