A visual guide to &kde;'s interface. This is a very early version of the document. Eventually, this will be a graphical tour of &kde;.

KDE Visual Dictionary Guide

## &kde; Visual Dictionary of terms

This project was started to help unify the vocabulary used in &kde; documentation.

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

The term Widget refers to the basic building block of a computer program's interface.

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.

### Listing of Common &kde; Widgets

Currently, this guide consists of a table of the names of the graphical elements often found in &kde; documentation, and an example of each one.

Our hope, eventually, is to make this a much more complete document, which will take you on a visual tour of &kde;.
