Abstract
Embodiments of a supplemental message display method and system are described. Supplemental messages to be displayed on the client display of a network client are defined and comprise content that is separate from content generated by any application currently executed on the network client. A virtual desktop view is served from a server computer to the network client. The virtualization layer defines a screen region on the virtual desktop view of the client display device through for the display of one or more of the supplemental messages. The virtualization layer controls the size, location, color, and transparency level of the defined screen region. The defined screen region is made persistent to ensure the continual display of the supplemental message. The supplemental message content is provided to the network client and interactive user input is received through the displayed message.
