Abstract

A method and device for implementing a generic icon with multiple display modes. An original image icon in a Bitmap format is preset, translucent processing is performed on the original image icon according to preset display modes, mask layer icons satisfying requirements of each of the display modes are obtained, the original image icon and the mask layer icons obtained by translucent processing are encapsulated into a skin installation package, and the skin installation package is sent. The number of the images in the skin installation package, and the cost of the downloading made by the user may be reduced.

Claims

1. A method for implementing a generic icon with multiple display modes, comprising:

presetting an original image icon in a Bitmap format;

performing translucent processing on the original image icon according to preset display modes, and obtaining mask layer icons satisfying requirements of each of the display modes; and

encapsulating the original image icon and the mask layer icons obtained by performing the translucent processing on the original image icon into a skin installation package, and sending the skin installation package.

2. The method according to claim 1, after sending the skin installation package, further comprising:

receiving, by a mobile terminal device, the skin installation package, performing calculation on the original image icon and the mask layer icons corresponding to each of the display modes, and obtaining a display icon corresponding to the each of the display modes.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein a background of the original image icon is configured as white, and the white is defined as full-transparent.

4. The method according to claim 3, wherein the display modes comprise a normal mode and a night mode.

5. The method according to claim 4, wherein performing the translucent processing on the original image icon comprises:

reading the stored original image icon, adjusting transparency of the original image icon to make an image effect meet user'"'"'s requirements of viewing an image in the normal mode, obtaining a mask layer icon in the normal mode, setting a background of the mask layer icon in the normal mode as black, and defining the black as full-transparent; and

reading the stored original image icon, adjusting the transparency of the original image icon, to make image effect meet user'"'"'s requirements of viewing the image in the night mode, obtaining a mask layer icon in the night mode, and setting a background of the mask layer icon in the night mode as the black, wherein an image of the mask layer icon in the night mode is gray after the translucent processing.

6. The method according to claim 5, wherein images in the skin installation package comprise:

the original image icon, the mask layer icon in the normal mode and the mask layer icon in the night mode.

7. The method according to claim 4, wherein performing the calculation on the original image icon and the mask layer icons corresponding to each of the display modes, and obtaining the display icon corresponding to each of the display modes comprises:

reading the original image icon and a mask layer icon in a normal mode obtained by performing the translucent processing on the original image icon, performing the calculation, and obtaining a display icon in the normal mode; and

reading the original image icon and a mask layer icon in a night mode obtained by performing the translucent processing on the original image icon, performing the calculation, and obtaining the display icon in the night mode.

8. A device for implementing a generic icon with multiple display modes, comprising:

an original image icon storage module, a display mode strategy storage module, a mask layer icon processing module and an encapsulation module, wherein

the original image icon storage module is configured to store an obtained original image icon in a Bitmap format;

the display mode strategy storage module is configured to store each preset display mode strategy;

the mask layer icon processing module is configured to read the original image icon from the original image icon storage module and perform translucent processing on the original image icon according to the each display mode strategy stored in the display mode strategy storage module, obtain mask layer icons meeting requirements of each display mode, and send the mask layer icons to the encapsulation module; and

the encapsulation module is configured to encapsulate the original image icon stored in the original image icon storage module and the received mask layer icons into a skin installation package, and send the skin installation package.

9. The device according to claim 8, wherein the mask layer icon processing module comprises:

a normal mode mask layer icon processing sub-module and a night mode mask layer icon processing sub-module;

wherein

the normal mode mask layer icon processing sub-module is configured to perform the translucent processing on the original image icon read from the original image icon storage module according to a normal display mode strategy stored in the display mode strategy storage module, obtain a mask layer icon in a normal mode, and send the mask layer icon in the normal mode to the encapsulation module; and

the night mode mask layer icon processing sub-module is configured to perform the translucent processing on the original image icon read from the original image icon storage module according to a night display mode strategy stored in the display mode strategy storage module, obtain a mask layer icon in a night mode, and send the mask layer icon in the night mode to the encapsulation module.
