Abstract:
Although a GUI largely replaces textual descriptions by
graphical icons, the textual items are not completely removed. The textual
items are inevitably used in window titles, message boxes, help items, menu
items and popup items. Textual items are necessary for communicating messages
that are beyond the limitation of graphical messages.
However, it is necessary to harness the textual items on the
graphical interface in such a way that they complement each other to produce
the best effect. One has to keep various considerations in mind while applying
textual items in Graphical User Interface. This article illustrates a few
inventions on presenting textual items in a Graphical user Interface.
