of the same application. They allow users to multitask and organize their work.

Icons are small graphical representations that represent different applications, files, or folders.
Icons
They provide a visual shortcut to accessing specific items.

Menus are lists of options that allow users to select commands or navigate through the
Menus application. They offer a structured way to access functions and features.

Toolbars are collections of buttons or icons that provide quick access to frequently used tools and
Toolbars commands. They streamline workflows and simplify common actions.

GUI software provides a visual and intuitive way for users to interact with computer applications, making technology more acc essible and user-friendly.
