When [[#Activation_Methods|activated]], the Frame slides in atop the currently visible view, providing access to needed functionality, yet quickly retracting from view once the task for which the child invoked it ends. Although these transitions happen quickly, a forgiveness parameter prevents unintentional Frame retraction in hopes of making interaction with this interface element completely natural.

As previously mentioned, the presence of others on the mesh defines much of the laptop experience.  In order to surface this at all times in the interface, the right-hand edge of the Frame provides an easily accessible list of all the individuals a child is collaborating with in the currently active activity, represented by their colored [[Design Team/Human Interface Guidelines/The Sugar Interface/Icons#The XO|XOs]].  This has a number of benefits.  First, it provides a quick reference of the people the child is working with, which updates as new people join and others leave.  As new people arrive, they appear in the upper right corner, and as they leave they simply vacate their current location.  Additionally, the secondary rollovers for these XO objects reveal biographical information about them: name, age, class, interests, and even a small photo.  This makes the frame a great resource for meeting new friends, for what better place to meet them than in the activity shared with them?
