Desktop tools: In computing, the term is used
figuratively. Many graphical user interfaces
(GUI) use a desktop metaphor. It consists of
the screen contents "below" any windows,
hence what is on the screen before any windows
are opened, and what reappears when windows
are closed. It usually shows icons that a user
clicks to open programs, documents or folders
and possibly an image as wallpaper.
When talking about computer hardware, a desktop
computer is a personal computer that is too
large to carry and designed to remain in the
same place. In graphical computing, a desktop
environment (DE) offers graphical user interface
(GUI) solution to operate a computer. The name
is derived from the desktop metaphor used by
most of these interfaces. A DE provides icons,
toolbars, applications, applets, and abilities
like drag and drop. As a whole, the particularities
of design and function of a desktop environment
endow it with a distinctive look and feel.
