Abstract
A system and method for user controllable presentation of content on a user device having an interactive GUI and configured for network interaction with a living content system is provided. The living application system has a set of applications and configuration files. A shell application is run on the client device and is configured to execute one or more applications downloaded to the shell application. Content is provided either directly to the user device from content sources or via the living application system. A GUI management module is configured to apply user preferences to downloaded applications to generate graphical displays on the user device, wherein said graphical displays are real-time displays that can be superimposed over existing windows in a frame having variable opacity, size, continuity, shape and placement.
