Eye tracking the visual search of click-down menus
CHI '99: Proceedings of the SIGCHI conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

Click-down (or pull-down) menus have long been a key component of graphical user interfaces, yet we know surprisingly little about how users actually interact with such menus. Nilsens [8] study on menu selection has led to the development of a number of ...

As the use of graphical user interfaces expands into new areas, icons are becoming an increasingly important aspect of GUIs. Oddly, little research has been done into the costs and benefits associated with using icons. One aspect of icons, icon borders, ...
