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

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

<para
>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.</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>

<sect1 id="widget-table">
<title
>Listing of Common &kde; Widgets</title>
<para
>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. </para>
<para
>Our hope, eventually, is to make this a much more complete document, which will take you on a visual tour of &kde;.</para>
