Abstract
Methods, systems, and techniques for presenting dynamically changing images in a limited rendering environment are described. Example embodiments provide a client display manager that is configured to receive image blocks representing modifications or updates to a dynamically changing image. The client display manager may then layer the received image blocks upon one another, and then cause the layered image blocks to be presented on a display device as a single, composited image. In some embodiments, multiple image blocks may be coalesced or otherwise combined into a single image transmitted to the client display manager, where regions of the single image that are not occupied by the multiple image blocks are transparent.
