Term: GUI [Graphical User Interface]

GUI is an acronym for Graphical User Interface.

A graphical user interface refers specifically to user interfaces (or UIs) which are created graphically, using images, colors and other visual effects, such as those presented by Windows and Windows applications.

This contrasts with a so-called “character mode” user interface, which is constructed solely from characters such as those you might type on a keyboard. The Windows Command Prompt, and the programs that might run within it, are examples of character-mode interfaces.
