Abstract
Screens generated by a host application are reformatted for viewing by applying styles to the host screens in response to recognized components included therein. In particular, a style defines a desired look and layout to be applied to a respective host screen. The styles are applied to the respective host screens based on recognizing components of the host screen at run time. For example, first and second styles can be associated with respective first and second components included in host screens. The first style is applied to the host screen in which the first component is recognized and the second style is applied to the host screen in which the second component is recognized. Accordingly, the application of the first and second styles provide respective first and second reformatted screens.
