'''Graphical user interface''' commonly called GUI (pronounced Gooey) is the means of manipulating code to a visual display of icons, widgets, windows, skin, menu-based interface. Prior to a desktop GUI, changes to software were made by command-line. This limited the reach of [[computer]]s to only people educated in computer science. The GUI dramatically improved ease of use to the point that children up to the elderly could now operate a computer. The most popular GUI became Windows by Microsoft. Other GUI's include [[Apple]]'s OSx, O/S 2 from [[IBM]]. For [[Linux]] you have a choice of [[GNOME]], KDE, LXDE, Unity, Xfce and others. [[UNIX]] has the X Windows GUI.
The graphical user interface is not limited to computers and can be found on electronic devices that require human-interaction such as a phone, a car, touchscreens, etc.
