Fitt's+Law


 * Fitts' Law states that the time to obtain a target is a "function of the distance to and size of the target".
 * Fitts' law specifies that the window's task bar will continually get in people's way.
 * Fitts' law also indicates that targets most quickly accessed on any computer display are the four corners of the screen, this is due to their pinning action.
 * One should utilize large objects for more significant functions (Big buttons are quicker to recognize)
 * The sides, bottom, top, and corners of your display use these pinning actions: [A single-row toolbar with tool icons that "bleed" into the edges of the display will be many times faster than a double row of icons with a carefully-applied one-pixel non-clickable edge between the tools and the side of the display.] according to Tog. **For example:** Dock located at the bottom of the screen on Mac computers**.** It magnifies for greater accessibility.



//**For example:**// Microsoft Toolbars offer the user the option of displaying a label below each tool. This allows labeled tools to be accessed faster.




 * The label becomes part of the target. The target is therefore bigger. Bigger targets can always be acccessed faster.
 * When labels are not used, the tool icons crowd together.
