Abstract
A method for a multi-modal device for transferring launch information for a panel and first docking bar in a first application environment to a second application environment for a second docking bar in the second application environment includes detecting a docking of the multi-modal device to a hardware module, and displaying a user interface for the second application environment operating on the multi-modal device on the hardware module. The method includes receiving at the second application environment the launch information for launching launchable objects in the first application environment from the second application environment, and parsing, by the second application environment, the launch information to determine a change to the panel or the first docking bar. The change is in the first application environment. The method includes changing the second docking bar to include the change to the panel or the first docking bar based on parsing the launch information.
