Abstract
A computer implemented method, a computer program product, and a data processing system provide overlays to an application. An application state of the application is identified. Responsive to identifying the application state, an appropriate overlay corresponding to the application state is identified. Responsive to identifying the appropriate overlay, the appropriate overlay is overlain onto the application. The appropriate overlay is then displayed in real time in a user interface, with the appropriate overlay overlain in the user interface of the application.
