An application menu is a graphical interface element found in software applications that provides users with a list of options and commands. It typically appears at the top of the application window and allows users to access various features, such as file management, editing tools, and settings. Common examples of application menus include those in Microsoft Word and Adobe Photoshop. Users can interact with the application menu by clicking on it, which reveals a dropdown list of available actions. This menu helps streamline navigation within the application, making it easier for users to find and execute tasks efficiently. The application menu is an essential component of user interface design in many software programs.
