1. A method comprising:
- by a computing device of a user, dynamically identifying a first subregion and a second subregion of a display of the computing device, wherein the display is backlit by backlighting components, and wherein content of a structured document is associated with each subregion;
by the computing device, receiving a message, the message being associated with a messaging application running on the computing device of the user;
by the computing device, in response to receipt of the message, computing an affinity score between a source of the message and the user, the affinity score being computed based at least in part on interactions on a social-networking system between the source of the message and the user;
by the computing device, increasing light intensity of one or more backlighting components to emit a particular color light that backlight the first subregion comprising the message based on;
the content associated with the first subregion, wherein the content associated with the first subregion comprises the message received at the computing device,the computed affinity score being above a preset threshold, anda color associated with the user interface of the messaging application, wherein the particular color light is substantially the same as the color associated with the user interface; and
by the computing device, decreasing light intensity of one or more backlighting components that backlight the second subregion based on the content associated with the second subregion, wherein the increasing and the decreasing are concurrent.
