The title bar is a horizontal bar that is present at the top of the window. It displays the title of the file. The title of a file mainly consists of a file name and the application name or vice versa. Say we are creating a file on a Textpad application and we have saved the file with the name ‘DemoFile.txt’ so the title bar will show something like the below:
Textpad – D:\DemoFile.txt
Textpad is the application or program name
D:\DemoFile.txt is the directory and file name combined
- The title bar content varies from application to application but basically, it contains the data to identify a file.
- The title bar contains the application icon. In the above image, we can see the TextPad icon.
- The title bar helps to move the window from one position to another. Left-click on the title bar using a mouse and drag the window.
- The title bar also contains 3 small buttons: minimize button, maximize button, and close button.
- Minimize button is used to minimize or shrink the current window.
- Maximize or restore button is used to enlarge or restore the current window.
- The close button is used to close or exit the application.
