startskärmsbaserat

startskärmsbaserat is a Swedish term that translates to "start screen-based" or "home screen-based" in English. It describes a user interface or system that primarily utilizes a central start screen or home screen for navigation and access to applications, functions, or information. This approach is commonly found in operating systems for personal computers, smartphones, and tablets.

The start screen typically serves as the initial point of interaction upon powering on a device or returning to a default state. It often displays a collection of icons, tiles, or widgets representing installed applications, system settings, or frequently accessed content. Users interact with these elements to launch programs, manage files, or customize their device's appearance.

In the context of operating systems, a start screen-based design aims to provide a unified and intuitive way for users to manage their digital environment. It contrasts with more traditional menu-driven interfaces or desktop paradigms where access points might be scattered across different areas. The emphasis is on direct access and visual organization, allowing users to quickly find and engage with what they need. Modern operating systems often incorporate elements of start screen-based design, even if they offer alternative navigation methods.
