The GUI, or graphical user interface, is the interface on your computer screen that enables a user to interact with a computer program or software program. It also means the application or program display, such as icons, menus, icons, toolbars, and windows. You have probably seen many applications of Microsoft Windows that have a window that you can drag and drop files into. The GUI window is the application and you have used in the earlier paragraph. The GUI design used in a web browser allows you to open and view web pages.
There are a few other forms of the GUI that are used in many types of software applications. The GUI design used in MS Windows is very important and it is used in a lot of applications including Excel and Word. You can use the GUI on a browser window to open the website that you are interested in. The web browser has the same application as the application on your PC and Mac. The only difference is that there is no blue screen on your computer or Mac when you try to open the web page and if you use Firefox, the GUI uses a different design called IFRAME.
If you decide to download a web browser for your Mac, you need to make sure that the GUI that is installed on your Mac will work. Many web browsers are freeware that is only available to personal users and not for commercial use. There are some software developers that create versions of their software that are only available for free. If you download a freeware software, you can get the GUI on your Mac. So, what do you do next? If you have a high-end Mac, you can use the GUI but if you have a high-end PC or a lower-end Mac, the GUI does not fit in with the look and feel of the Mac operating system.
