Abstract
A system that supports a uniform three-dimensional rendering of components on a display screen by allowing a new component to inherit the shading properties of a parent component. The system provides for escalation of a search for shading properties, including at least a baseline shading face color, from any one of a plurality of shading property sources that can include, but are not limited to, an expressly defined shading property, an inheritable property from a parent component, and a system property in an absence of any other shading property source. Consistent gradations of color shading that facilitate three-dimensional visual cues among a component family hierarchy are generated and rendered on the display screen based on a baseline shading face color.
