Mutatóbarát

Mutatóbarát is a Hungarian term that translates directly to "pointer-friendly" or "mouse-friendly" in English. It is often used in the context of user interface design and web development to describe elements or interactions that are easy to select and manipulate with a mouse cursor or other pointing devices.

The concept of mutatóbarát is important for usability and accessibility. Elements that are mutatóbarát typically have sufficient size and spacing to prevent accidental clicks on adjacent items. For instance, buttons or links that are too small or too close together can be frustrating for users, especially those with motor impairments or using touchscreens.

In web design, adhering to mutatóbarát principles can involve making sure clickable areas are not only the text itself but also a slightly larger surrounding area. This ensures that even if a user's cursor is not perfectly aligned, they can still successfully activate the intended element. Similarly, interactive elements in software applications should be designed with adequate target sizes.

The term is less about a specific technical specification and more about a design philosophy focused on creating intuitive and user-friendly experiences. It emphasizes the ease with which a user can interact with an interface using a pointing device, contributing to overall satisfaction and efficiency.
