1. An apparatus, comprising:
a memory; and
at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to perform operations, the operations comprising:
receiving a command configured to instruct an application programming interface (API) to render a graphics element, wherein the command includes off-screen data associated with the graphics element and on-screen data associated with the graphics element;
generating, based on the command and a set of modification factors, a transcoded command configured to instruct the API to render a modified graphics element, wherein generating the transcoded command comprises applying the set of modification factors to the on-screen data associated with the graphics element but not applying the set of modification factors to the off-screen data associated with the graphics element; and
transmitting the transcoded command to the API to cause the API to render the modified graphics element.
