window shopping
|
|
|
|
n. [US Geological Survey] Among users of WIMP environment s like X or the
|
|
Macintosh, extended experimentation with new window colors, fonts, and icon
|
|
shapes. This activity can take up hours of what might otherwise have been
|
|
productive working time. I spent the afternoon window shopping until I found
|
|
the coolest shade of green for my active window borders now they perfectly
|
|
match my medium slate blue background. Serious window shoppers will spend
|
|
their days with bitmap editors, creating new and different icons and
|
|
background patterns for all to see. Also: window dressing , the act of
|
|
applying new fonts, colors, etc. See fritterware , compare macdink.
