Title Bars Design

The title bar contains the name of the window or dialog box.

The following list explains guidelines for title bars:

• Wherever possible, use the name of the procedure supported by a window or dialog box as the title of that window or dialog box on the title bar.
• Titles on the title bar are generally objects (nouns) prefixed by actions (verbs), for example, Accept Policy, Create Mail, Confirm Order.
