Inside Macintosh: Mac OS 8 Human Interface Guidelines /


Chapter 2 - Control Guidelines

This chapter describes the Mac OS Toolbox controls that a user manipulates in windows, dialog boxes, and alert boxes. Because these controls are provided by the Mac OS Toolbox, their appearance and behavior is standardized, which provides users with familiar tools and contexts for responding to the computer's need for information.
