<title>&tde; Visual Dictionary of terms</title>

<para>This project was started to help unify the vocabulary used in &tde;
documentation.</para>

<para>We provide this for you here as an aid to learning your way around the
&tde;
Graphical User Interface.  These names have been standardized within &tde;
documentation, so that you will always find interface items referred to in the
same way.</para>

<tip><para>The term <quote>Widget</quote> refers to the basic building
block of a computer program's interface.</para>
<para>Each widget operates in a
similar manner each time it is used, but the effect that the widget has depends on
its place within the program.</para></tip>

<!-- TODO:
Widgets to add: combo buttons (eg, the 'back' button in konq), popup
menus/context menus, passive popups, navigation panel buttons?

Perhaps list deprecated names, for search/replace purposes?
-->
<sect1 id="widget-table">
<title>Listing of Common &tde; Widgets</title>
<para>Currently, this guide consists of a table of the names of the graphical
elements often found in &tde; documentation, and an example of each one. </para>
<para>Our hope, eventually, is to make this a much more complete document,
which will take you on a visual tour of &tde;.</para>
