Címsáv

Címsáv is a Hungarian term that translates to "title bar" in English. It refers to the horizontal strip at the very top of a window in a graphical user interface. The primary function of the címsáv is to display the name or title of the application or document currently open in that window. This allows users to quickly identify which window they are interacting with, especially when multiple windows are open simultaneously.

Beyond just displaying the title, the címsáv typically contains other essential window control elements. These usually include minimize, maximize (or restore down), and close buttons, often located on the right-hand side. Clicking these buttons allows users to manage the size and visibility of the window. The címsáv also serves as a draggable area; users can click and hold the címsáv to move the entire window around the screen. In some operating systems or applications, the címsáv might also display additional information, such as a progress indicator or status updates, though its core purpose remains identification and basic window management. The visual design and exact placement of elements within the címsáv can vary between different operating systems (like Windows, macOS, or Linux distributions) and individual applications.
