Abstract
A programming interface for a computer platform may include various functionality. In certain embodiments, the programming interface may include a sidebar that provides dynamic communication access and information awareness in an integrated interactive peripheral display. Specified communication contacts and information elements may be dynamically tracked or received and provided to a user on an ongoing basis. This capability may be provided via a customizable dynamic thumbnail displayed in one or more columns in a persistent display strip along one edge of a display device. Information may be updated according to rules set by a user.
