Design elements - General window elements

The vector stencils library "General window elements" contains 31 window elements.
Use this window UI icon set to design graphic user interface (GUI) of your software application for OS X 10.10 Yosemite Apple Mac operating system.
"A window provides a frame for viewing and interacting with content in an app. ...
A window consists of window-frame areas and a window body. The window-frame areas are the title bar and toolbar, which are typically combined. ... The window body can extend from the top edge of the window (that is, underneath the combined title bar/ toolbar area) to the bottom edge of the window.
The window body represents the main content area of the window. ...
OS X defines appearances that can affect the look of controls and views in particular contexts, such as a window’s sidebar. ...
OS X specifies a set of control/ style combinations that are designed to look good on the toolbar, whether the toolbar is translucent or opaque. ...
Every document window, app window, and panel has, at a minimum:
- A title bar (or a combined title bar and toolbar), so that users can move the window.
- A close button, so that users have a consistent way to dismiss the window.
A standard document window may also have the following additional elements that an app window or panel might not have:
- Transient horizontal or vertical scroll bars, or both (if not all the window’s contents are visible).
- Minimize and fullscreen buttons (note that the fullscreen button changes to a zoom button if the window doesn’t support fullscreen mode or when users hold down the Option key).
- A proxy icon and a versions menu (after the user has given a document a name and save location for the first time).
- The title of the document (that functions as the title of the window).
- Transient resize controls." [https:/ / developer.apple.com/ library/ mac/ documentation/ UserExperience/ Conceptual/ OSXHIGuidelines/ WindowAppearanceBehavior.html#/ / apple_ ref/ doc/ uid/ 20000957-CH33-SW1]

Misunderstanding Product Purpose

The successful promotion of goods on the market and the high rates of sales are achieved by active advertising actions of the company. The customers don't purchase simply the goods or services, they acquire solutions provided by them. That's why during the advertising a product, it is very important not only describe it in details, but professionally and clearly explain which purposes it will help to reach the customer. In other words, you must provide a ready answer to the question what benefits the client will receive by purchasing the product or service, even before the moment of it appearing in a client's mind. In a competitive environment the importance of clarifying the product's purpose has even more greater value, because the client needs to see instantly all benefits and value of your product, and prefer it to many others. The ways of explaining in cases of misunderstanding of a product purpose can vary. This action Mind Map easy created with powerful tools of ConceptDraw MINDMAP software contains ready to use response phrases and helps correctly and exhaustively respond to the critical messages in cases of customer's misunderstanding of a service or product purpose.

Menus - Vector stencils library

The vector stencils library "Menus" contains 14 icons of Windows 8 menus.
Use this menu UI icon set to design graphic user interface (GUI) prototypes of your software applications for Windows 8.
"A menu bar is a graphical control element which contains drop down menus. The menu bar's purpose is to supply a common housing for window- or application-specific menus which provide access to such functions as opening files, interacting with an application, or displaying help documentation or manuals. Menu bars are typically present in graphical user interfaces that display documents and representations of files in windows and windowing systems but menus can be used as well in command line interface programs like text editors or filemanagers where drop-down menu is activated with shortcut key or combination. ...
The menu bar in Microsoft Windows is usually anchored to the top of a window under the title bar; therefore, there can be many menu bars on screen at one time. Menus in the menu bar can be accessed through shortcuts involving the Alt key and the mnemonic letter that appears underlined in the menu title. Additionally, pressing Alt or F10 brings the focus on the first menu of the menu bar." [Menu bar. Wikipedia]
