menu bars
File Edit Help
Menu bars are horizontal strips at the top of application windows containing dropdown menus organized by category—File, Edit, View, Help.
Clicking a menu bar item reveals commands and options.
The convention dates to early graphical interfaces and remains standard across operating systems: The menu bar disappeared in full-screen mode.
