[US Geological Survey] Among users of {WIMP environment}s like {X} or
the Macintosh, extended experimentation with new window colors,
fonts, and icon shapes. This activity can take up hours of what might
otherwise have been productive working time. "I spent the afternoon
window shopping until I found the coolest shade of green for my
active window borders -- now they perfectly match my medium slate
blue background." Serious window shoppers will spend their days with
bitmap editors, creating new and different icons and background
patterns for all to see. Also: window dressing, the act of applying
new fonts, colors, etc. See {fritterware}, compare {macdink}.
