ABSTRACT:
A data processing system graphical user interface that is customizable to any user-selected color bitmap image is provided. According to the present invention, a user-selected color bitmap image containing a plurality of major objects is imported into the data processing system and set as a scene for the data processing system's graphical user interface. Major objects in the scene are then automatically identified, wherein a major object is one having a plurality of pixels of a selected characteristic. An identified major object is then selected and associated with a set of data, such that when the major object is subsequently selected, a particular data processing system operation is automatically performed utilizing the associated data set.
