Questions tagged [look-and-feel]

Questions about the Look and Feel (LaF) of applications with a graphical user interface (GUI). This includes questions on how to achieve a certain appearance (such as the native OS style) or how to alter a component's behaviour.

Look-and-feel can refer to any visual user interface, including individual applications, the operating system itself, or web sites. The 'look' refers to the interface's style (colors, fonts, icons and even branding) and layout of components on the display. The 'feel' refers to how these components behave, especially to user input. This is also known as usability or accessibility.
