Window

Description

A window is a (usually) rectangular portion of the display on a computer monitor that presents its contents (e.g., the contents of a directory, a text file or an image) seemingly independently of the rest of the screen. Windows are one of the elements that comprise a graphical user interface (GUI).

• Each window has its own Title Bar.
• When the content is bigger than the visual working area of the window, scrollbars appear. Note that content is defined for specific elements.
