1. A method for controlling configuration screens in a client-host system, comprising:
- presenting, on a display of a host device, a host configuration screen user interface having host configuration screen user interface visual elements that the display of the host device uses when displaying a host configuration screen, the host configuration screen user interface visual elements including a user interface size, a font style, a font type, a font size, a font color, a background, a menu type, a menu topology, a control topology, a screen template, or transitional entry effects;
transmitting the host configuration screen user interface visual elements to a client device via a communication network, the host configuration screen user interface visual elements enabling the client device to alter a client configuration screen user interface to have a visual format conforming to the host configuration screen user interface visual elements; and
receiving, from the client device, the altered client configuration screen user interface and presenting the altered client configuration screen user interface on the display of the host device;
orcausing the client device to display the altered client configuration screen user interface on a display of the client device.
