The OPEN LOOK Graphical User Interf

The OPEN LOOK Graphical User Interface is a specification for the “look and feel” of a windowing environment for a multitasking computer system.
The OPEN LOOK UI is designed to provide a consistent user interface for a wide spectrum of application. User who are comfortable with one OPEN LOOK UI application then application other application with a built-in comfort level, and thus spend less time learning each application. Application developers can concentrate on designing the user interface for the application itself rather than on designing specific elements for a user interface.
The OPEN LOOK UI design is not dependent on any particular hardware or operating system environment. Device independence makes it easy to port application developed using the OPEN LOOK UI. In addition, the OPEN LOOK UI design allows future development and incorporation of addition user interface standards.
The right to use the OPEN LOOK trademark is subject to a certification procedure. See Application A for more information.
This chapter discusses fundamentals of OPEN LOOK UI design principles.
