# Guidelines for user interface text in SerenityOS
|
||||
|
||||
## Capitalization
|
||||
|
||||
SerenityOS employs two capitalization styles:
|
||||
|
||||
- Book title capitalization
|
||||
- Sentence-style capitalization
|
||||
|
||||
### Book title capitalization
|
||||
|
||||
In this style, we capitalize the first letter of the first and last word,
|
||||
as well as all words in between, *except* articles (a, an, the);
|
||||
the seven coordinating conjunctions (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so);
|
||||
and prepositions with up to four letters (at, by, for, with, into, ...)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Examples:
|
||||
- Create New Layer
|
||||
- Copy URL
|
||||
- Move to Front
|
||||
- Save and Exit
|
||||
- Sort by Name
|
||||
|
||||
#### Used for:
|
||||
|
||||
- Button text
|
||||
- Icon labels
|
||||
- Menu names
|
||||
- Menu items
|
||||
- Tab titles
|
||||
- Window titles
|
||||
- Tooltips
|
||||
|
||||
### Sentence-style capitalization
|
||||
|
||||
This style follows basic English sentence capitalization.
|
||||
We capitalize the first letter of the first word, along with the first letter
|
||||
of proper names, weekdays, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Examples:
|
||||
- An error occurred
|
||||
- Use system defaults
|
||||
- Copy the selected text
|
||||
- Enable Linux compatibility hacks
|
||||
|
||||
#### Used for:
|
||||
|
||||
- Check box labels
|
||||
- Group box labels
|
||||
- List items
|
||||
- Messages (as in message boxes)
|
||||
- Radio button labels
|
||||
- Status bar text
|
||||
- Text box labels
