Desktop environments
Books in this subject area deal with desktop environments: graphical user interfaces that are based on the desktop metaphor and can be seen on most modern personal computers today. They are designed to assist the user in easily accessing and configuring (or modifying) the most important (or frequently accessed) operating system features. A desktop environment typically consists of icons, windows, toolbars, folders, wallpapers, and desktop widgets.
