ABSTRACT:
An improved graphical user interface comprises novel status indicators pertaining to state attributes associated with objects displayed on a display screen of a computer system. These status indicators are preferably portrayed on a window pane of a display screen as distinct visual cues and are located adjacent to their associated objects to provide a customizable browser framework to a user. A dynamically-adjustable side bar panel provides a designated area within each pane for displaying the status indicators.
