Title bar

The bar located along the top of a window or a dialog box that displays the name of the window and/or software program being used. For example, users using Microsoft Internet Explorer to view this web page will likely see "Title bar - Microsoft Internet Explorer" for the title of their window.

Besides giving a description of the open program and/or window, the title bar has several other useful features. Below is a list of some of the functions of the title bar. Keep in mind that not all of these features are supported in all operating systems.

  1. Click and hold down the mouse button on the title bar to move the window around when not maximized.
  2. Double-clicking the title bar will maximize the window or set the window into window mode allowing it to be moved around your screen.

Tip: See our window dictionary definition for a visual example and explanation of all portions of a window including the Title bar.
