A present novel and non-trivial system and method for controlling the display of classified information with unclassified information are disclosed. Layer property(ies) of the super layer are turned on. Layer property(ies) of at least one unclassified layer is turned on, making it a changed unclassified layer. Unclassified layer data of each changed unclassified layer is sent to a user application, and responsive first first-tier widget data is received. Pixel data set is generated based upon the unclassified layer data, the first first-tier widget data, and a known display configuration format. Additionally, layer property(ies) of at least one classified layer is turned on, making it a changed classified layer. Classified layer data of each changed classified layer is sent to a user application, and responsive second first-tier widget data is received. The second widget data is included in the basis for generating the pixel data set.
