Abstract
In an embodiment, a computer-implemented process comprises, in a computer peripheral device that is configured to be coupled to a computer system, creating and storing one or more user interface modifiers that are defined by the device and configured to be used by the computer system to modify rendering of a user interface in the computer system; and providing the device defined user interface modifiers to the computer system. In an embodiment, the device defined user interface modifiers comprise one or more priority values for one or more features of the device; each of the one or more priority values is associated with an identifier of one of the features; and each of the priority values indicates a relative importance of the associated feature in comparison to other features.
