# Chapter 1. KDE Visual Dictionary of terms

This project was started to help unify the vocabulary used in KDE documentation.

We provide this for you here as an aid to learning your way around the KDE Graphical User Interface. These names have been standardised within KDE documentation, so that you will always find interface items referred to in the same way.

| The term Widget refers to the basic building blocks of a computer programs interface. Each widget operates in a similar manner each time it is used, but the effect that widget has, depends on its place within the program.

# 1.1. Listing of Common KDE: Widgets

Currently, this guide consists of a table of the names of the graphical elements often found in KDE documentation, and an example of each one.

Our hope, eventually, is to make this is much more complete document, which will take you on a visual tour of KDE.
