Hello, everyone. I spoke with Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt) on IRC today and asked about the terminology for various UI elements (including the spelling, spacing, and capitalization). The canonical (pun intended) list follows:
* Launcher (capitalized) * home button (lowercase) * workspace switcher (lowercase) * the bar at the top is called the menu bar (two words, lowercase) * the menu bar contains the window title, window menus, application status menus, and system status menus. (In Ubuntu 12.10, it will also contain the application menus.) * Dash (capitalized) If there are other UI elements that I've missed, please let me know and I'll try to get the official names for them. To the Ubuntu Manual team: I'll update our style guide to reflect these spellings. To the Ubuntu docs team: Do you disagree with any of the above spellings or terms? Thanks! --Kevin Godby _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-manual Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-manual More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
