UIML - UIML UIML stands for User Interface Markup Language and is an application of XML to describe user interfaces. Normally people think of using XML for describing documents or data. But as it is just a formalism it may be used for any kind of structured data. There are tools which convert an UIML representation to the representation for various GUIs (e.g. Java awt). XUL (Xml User-interface Language) provides similar functionality as UIML and is used for the Mozilla web browser. External Links www.uiml.org Conversion tool - VisualBasic forms to UIML.
Graphical user interface - used in industrial applications employing a Real-time operating system or RTOS. Similar to GUIs are text user interfaces (TUIs) that display the same types of widgets in a character-cell mode rather than in a pixel mode. Examples include the interfaces of many ncurses and MS-DOS applications. The graphical user interface is generally contrasted with the command line interface (CLI). Because GUIs and TUIs tend to show most or all relevant categories of commands on the display, users often learn them faster than CLIs. since the choice of which options to display here and now has been made for the user, full use of a GUI often takes considerable time. A CLI typically treats options/choices as more or less equal and so mastering a CLI generally includes a more extensive facility than.
User interface - user interface. The design of the user interface is relevant for the user's understanding (also called the mental model) of the system and thus for the system's usability or user-friendliness.

XUL - XUL content: This typically declares windows and user interface elements associated with them. XUL skin: Contains style sheets and images to define the appearance of an application. XUL locale: Displayable text within an application is partitioned and stored within locale specific files for easy language portability. See also UIML, for Netscape-compatible browsers only..
