toolbar

Etymology

tool + bar

noun

  1. (graphical user interface) A row of buttons, usually marked with icons, used to activate the functions of an application or operating system.
    Some UIs tend to improve this by displaying toolbars only when they are related to any object manipulated (e.g., an image, a rectangle) and undisplaying them afterwards. 2005, Maria Francesca Costabile, Fabio Paternò, Human-Computer Interaction – INTERACT 2005, page 199
