Aspects of the disclosed subject matter are directed to a graphical display that provides a visual enhancement in conveying a vehicle reading. In accordance with one embodiment, a method is provided that causes the graphical display to render a border of an instrument with a distinguishing visual attribute. More specifically, the method includes assigning a priority level to an instrument used to convey a vehicle reading. When an abnormal condition is identified, the instrument is assigned an enhanced priority level that corresponds to the abnormal condition. Then, the method causes the graphical display to render the instrument, wherein that border of the instrument is depicted with an enhanced visual attribute indicative of the abnormal condition. In this regard, the enhanced visual attribute distinguishes the instrument from one or more other instruments depicted on the graphical display that are not assigned an enhanced priority level.

1. In a vehicle that includes a graphical display, a method for conveying information about the vehicle, the method comprising, by one or more processors in a computer system: assigning a priority level to an instrument configured to convey a vehicle reading, wherein the instrument comprises a border and a central portion;identifying an abnormal condition;dynamically assigning an enhanced priority level to the instrument that corresponds to the abnormal condition; andcausing the graphical display to render a border of the instrument with an enhanced visual attribute configured to indicate the abnormal vehicle condition and distinguish the border of the instrument from a portion of the instrument that lacks the enhanced visual attribute;wherein the enhanced visual attribute is configured to distinguish the instrument from one or more other instruments depicted on an instrument panel that are not assigned an enhanced priority level. 2. The method as recited in claim 1, further comprising: determining whether a level of contrast between the border of the instrument and a background is below a threshold level of contrast; andif the level of contrast is below the threshold level of contrast, increasing the contrast between the border of the instrument and the background to at least the threshold level. 3. The method as recited in claim 2, wherein at least one of a color of the instrument and a background color are configurable and selectable by a user. 4. The method as recited in claim 2, wherein increasing the contrast between the border of the instrument and the background includes modifying at least one of a luminance value and an RGB value of the background. 5. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein to render a border of the instrument with an enhanced visual attribute includes changing at least one of a fill pattern, color, and luminance of the border of the instrument. 6. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein to render a border of the instrument with an enhanced visual attribute includes rapidly alternating the border between different contrasting colors. 7. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein a value of the enhanced priority level assigned to the instrument depends on one or more of which vehicle system experienced the abnormal condition and the extent to which a reading diverges from normal parameters. 8. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the enhanced visual attribute is configured to indicate a first range of values associated with the abnormal vehicle condition, the method further comprising: causing the graphical display to render the border of the instrument with a second visual attribute that differs from the enhanced visual attribute, wherein the second visual attribute is configured to indicate a second range of values associated with the abnormal vehicle condition. 9. The method as recited in claim 8, wherein the first range of values is associated with a warning condition, and wherein the second range of values is associated with a critical condition. 10. A system for providing information to a vehicle operator, comprising: a graphical display configured to visually depict at least two instruments;a memory having stored therein an enhancement module having program instructions for conveying a vehicle reading on the graphical display;a processor configured to execute the program instructions of the enhancement module to: assign a priority level to an instrument configured to convey the vehicle reading;identify an abnormal condition;dynamically assign an enhanced priority level to the instrument configured to convey the vehicle reading that corresponds to the abnormal condition; andcause the graphical display to render the instrument, wherein a border of the instrument is depicted with an enhanced visual attribute configured to indicate the abnormal condition and distinguish the border of the instrument from a portion of the instrument that lacks the enhanced visual attribute;wherein the enhanced visual attribute is configured to distinguish the instrument from one or more other instruments depicted on the graphical display that are not assigned an enhanced priority level. 11. The system as recited in claim 10, wherein the processor is further configured to: determine whether a level of contrast between the border of the instrument and a background is below a threshold level of contrast; andif the level of contrast is below the threshold level of contrast, increase the contrast between the border of the instrument and the background to at least the threshold level. 12. The system as recited in claim 11, wherein at least one of a color of the instrument and a background color are configurable and selectable by a user. 13. The system as recited in claim 11, wherein to increase the contrast between the border of the instrument and the background includes modifying at least one of a luminance value and an RGB value of the background. 14. The system as recited in claim 10, wherein the enhanced visual attribute includes at least one of a fill pattern, color, and luminance of the border of the instrument. 15. The system as recited in claim 10, wherein the enhanced visual attribute includes alternating colors. 16. The system as recited in claim 10, wherein a value of the enhanced priority level assigned to the instrument depends on one or more of which vehicle system experienced the abnormal condition and the extent to which a reading diverges from normal parameters. 17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having modules comprising: a detection module comprising computer-executable instructions configured to cause a computer to collect data from a plurality of vehicle systems and identify an abnormal condition from the collected data;a prioritization module comprising computer-executable instructions configured to cause a computer to assign a normal priority level to an instrument if the instrument corresponds to a normal reading and re-assign the instrument an enhanced priority level if the instrument corresponds to an abnormal reading; andan enhancement module comprising computer-executable instructions configured to cause a computer to identify that the instrument is assigned an enhanced priority level and cause a graphical display to render a border of the instrument with a distinguishing visual attribute;wherein the distinguishing visual attribute is configured to differentiate the appearance of the instrument from one or more other instruments depicted on an instrument panel that are not assigned an enhanced priority level and differentiate the border of the instrument from a portion of the instrument that lacks the distinguishing visual attribute. 18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium as recited in claim 17, further comprising an adjustment module comprising computer-executable instructions configured to cause a computer to: identify the amount of contrast between a border of the instrument and a background; andif the amount of contrast is below a threshold level of contrast, increase the contrast to at least the threshold level. 19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium as recited in claim 17, wherein the distinguishing visual attribute includes at least one of a fill pattern, color, and luminance of the border of the instrument. 20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium as recited in claim 17, wherein the distinguishing visual attribute includes alternating colors.
