The vector stencils library "Windows 8 apps" contains 40 shortcut icons of Windows 8 software applications.
Use this shortcut UI icon set to design graphic user interface (GUI) prototypes of your software apps for Windows 8.
"In computing, a file shortcut is a handle in a user interface that allows the user to find a file or resource located in a different directory or folder from the place where the shortcut is located.
Shortcuts are typically implemented as a small file containing a target URI or GUID to an object, or the name of a target program file that the shortcut represents. The shortcut might additionally specify parameters to be passed to the target program when it is run. Each shortcut can have its own icon. Shortcuts are very commonly placed on a desktop, in an application launcher panel such as the Microsoft Windows Start menu, or in the main menu of a desktop environment. ...
File shortcuts (also known as shell links) were introduced in Windows 95. Microsoft Windows uses .lnk as the filename extension for shortcuts to local files, and .URL for shortcuts to remote files, like web pages. Commonly referred to as "shortcuts" or "link files", both are displayed with a curled arrow overlay icon by default, and no filename extension. ...
Shortcut files can be used to launch programs in minimized or maximized window states if the program supports it. ...
Beginning with Windows 7, some shortcuts also store Application User Model IDs (AppUserModelIDs). Instead of the target command line, AppUserModelIDs may directly be used to launch applications. Shortcuts with AppUserModelIDs are used by some desktop programs and all WinRT Modern apps for launching." [File shortcut. Wikipedia]

This example illustrates usage of application icons in the graphic user interface (GUI) design of Windows 8 Start screen.
"Start is the heart of your PC - it’s where you open apps and desktop programs, see what your friends are doing, and get to your favorite websites and files.
The tiles on Start can show updates from your friends, new email, app notifications, and the next appointment on your calendar at a glance, even without opening an app. And because everyone who uses the PC can sign in with their own Microsoft account, each person can personalize their own tiles, colors, and backgrounds." [windows.microsoft.com/ en-us/ windows-8/ start-screen-tutorial]
The sample "Windows 8 Start screen" was created using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Windows 8 User Interface solution from the Software Development area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

The example "OS X 10.10 Yosemite - Finder window" shows usage of user interface (UI) design elements: window frame, toolbar, menu, app icons, wallpapers.
"The Finder is the default file manager and graphical user interface shell used on all Macintosh operating systems. Described in its "About" window as "The Macintosh Desktop Experience", it is responsible for the launching of other applications, and for the overall user management of files, disks, and network volumes. It was introduced with the first Macintosh computer, and also exists as part of GS/ OS on the Apple IIGS. It was totally rewritten with the release of Mac OS X in 2001. In a tradition dating back to the classic Mac OS of the 1980s and 1990s, the Finder icon is the smiling screen of a computer, known as the Happy Mac logo." [Finder (software). Wikipedia]

Graphical User Interface Examples
The vector stencils library "Messages" contains 10 Message dialog elements.
Use this notification dialog UI icon set to design graphic user interface (GUI) of your Windows 8 software application.
"A message dialog is an overlay UI element that provides a stable and contextual surface that is always modal and explicitly dismissed. Message dialogs appear at a consistent location on the screen. ...
Error messages that apply to the overall app context use message dialogs. ...
- Use message dialogs to convey urgent information that the user must see and acknowledge before continuing. ...
- Use message dialogs to present blocking questions that require the user's input. A blocking question is a question where the application cannot make a choice on the user's behalf, and cannot continue to fulfill it's value proposition to the user. A blocking question should present clear choices to the user. It is not a question that can be ignored or postponed.
- Use message dialogs to ask for explicit action from the user or to deliver a message that is important for the user to acknowledge. ...
- Use custom dialogs when the app or the system must invest a significant amount of time in the ensuing actions such that an accidental dismiss would be detrimental to the user's confidence.
- All dialogs should clearly identify the user's objective in the first line of the dialog's text (with or without a title).
- Don't use message dialogs when the app needs to confirm the user's intention for an action that the user has taken. Instead, a flyout is the appropriate surface. ...
- Don't use message dialogs for errors that are contextual to a specific place on the page, such as validation errors (in password fields, for example), use the app's canvas itself to show inline errors." [msdn.microsoft.com/ en-us/ library/ windows/ apps/ hh738363.aspx]

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]

Window elements
The vector stencils library "Window elements" contains 24 window elements: frames, boxes and buttons.
Use it to design graphic user interface (GUI) of your Windows 8 software application.
"A window is a graphical control element. It consists of a visual area containing some of the graphical user interface of the program it belongs to and is framed by a window decoration. It usually has a rectangular shape that can overlap with the area of other windows. It displays the output of and may allow input to one or more processes.
Windows are primarily associated with graphical displays, where they can be manipulated with a pointer by employing some kind of pointing device.
A graphical user interface (GUI) using windows as one of its main "metaphors" is called a windowing system, whose main components are the display server and the window manager." [Window (computing). Wikipedia]

"In human–computer interaction, WIMP stands for "windows, icons, menus, pointer", denoting a style of interaction using these elements of the user interface. ... Other expansions are sometimes used, substituting "mouse" and "mice" or "pull-down menu" and "pointing", for menus and pointer, respectively. ...
In a WIMP system:
(1) A window runs a self-contained program, isolated from other programs that (if in a multi-program operating system) run at the same time in other windows.
(2) An icon acts as a shortcut to an action the computer performs (e.g., execute a program or task).
(3) A menu is a text or icon-based selection system that selects and executes programs or tasks.
(4) The pointer is an onscreen symbol that represents movement of a physical device that the user controls to select icons, data elements, etc.
(5) cut, copy, and paste.
This style of system improves human–computer interaction (HCI) by emulating real-world interactions and providing better ease of use for non-technical people - both novice and power users. Users can carry skill at a standardized interface from one application to another.
Due to the nature of the WIMP system, simple commands can be chained together to undertake a group of commands that would have taken several lines of command line instructions." [WIMP (computing). Wikipedia]
