Described herein are systems and methods that reduce power consumption for
an electronics device that includes a display. The systems and methods
generate edge detection video information for a graphics component that
allows a person to visually identify and locate the graphics component
within a display area for the display device. Video information in the
display area other than the edge detection video information is altered
to conserve power. Preserving the edge detection video information for
the window maintains a person's ability to see and locate the window at a
later time, even though other portions of the display area have been
altered and potentially visually degraded to conserver power.
