Abstract

Scalable three-dimensional borders are provided in the user interface of an operating system. The borders are scalable in several respects. First, the dimensions of the borders are scalable relative to the resolution of a video display upon which the borders will be drawn. Second, the colors used in the borders are scalable based upon the range of luminances available on the video display. The borders are colored to provide the visual illusion of depth such that the borders appear to be three-dimensional.
