Abstract
Methods and apparatuses are provided for use in local/remote session computing environments. The methods and apparatuses allow users to be more alert as to which graphical user interface (GUI), e.g., local or remotely based, they are viewing and interacting with. When a remote GUI is displayed in full screen mode, one or more identifiers are presented to identify that the GUI is part of a particular local and/or remote program/session. The identifier(s) may be selectively displayed depending on the user's requirements.
