Menu bar and tool bar

• A menu bar is a graphical control


element which contains drop-down menus.
• The menu bar's purpose is to supply a
common housing for window- or application-
specific menus which provide access to such
functions as opening files, interacting with an
application, or displaying help documentation
or manuals.
• Menu bars are typically present in graphical
user interfaces that display documents and
representations of files
in windows and windowing systems but
menus can be used as well in command line
interface programs like text editors or file
managers where drop-down menu is activated
with a shortcut or combination key.
Toolbar
• . A toolbar is a set of icons or buttons that are
part of a software program's interface or an
open window.
• ... Microsoft Word has a toolbar with icons
that allow you to open, save, and print
documents, as well as change the font, text
size, and style of the text.
• The toolbar can also reside within an open
window. For example, Web browsers, such as
Internet Explorer, include a toolbar in each open
window. These toolbars have items such as Back
and Forward buttons, a Home button, and an
address field. Some browsers allow you to
customize the items in toolbar by right-clicking
within the toolbar and choosing "Customize..." or
selecting "Customize Toolbar" from the browser
preferences.
• Open windows on the desktop may have
toolbars as well. For example, in Mac OS X,
each window has Back and Forward buttons,
View Options, a Get Info button, and a New
Folder button. You can customize the Mac OS
X window toolbars as well.
• Toolbars serve as an always-available, easy-to-
use interface for performing common
functions. So if you haven't made use of your
programs' toolbar options or customization
features in the past, now is a good time to
start!
• A toolbar often provides quick access to
functions that are commonly performed in
the program. For example, a formatting
toolbar in a Microsoft Excel gives you access
to things like making text bold or changing its
alignment, along with other common buttons.
In an Internet browser, toolbars add
functionality that may not come pre-installed.
For example, with the Google toolbar, you can
get access to exclusive Google features.
• If you are missing a window's toolbar, try
pressing the Alt key on the keyboard as some
programs hide the toolbar until Alt is pressed.
In Windows 8 and Windows 10, some
programs and apps may only show a hidden
toolbar if the mouse cursor is positioned at
top of the window.
