From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
look and feel          The appearance and function of a program's       {user interface}.   The term is most often applied to       {graphical user interface}s (GUI) but might also be used by       extension for a textual command language used to control a       program.          Look and feel includes such things as the {icon}s used to       represent certain functions such as opening and closing files,       directories and {application program}s and changing the size       and position of windows; conventions for the meaning of       different buttons on a {mouse} and keys on the keyboard; and       the appearance and operation of menus.          A {user interface} with a consistent look and feel is       considered by many to be an important factor in the ease of       use of a computer system.   The success of the {Macintosh user       interface} was partly due to its consistency.          Because of the perceived importance of look and feel, there       have been several legal actions claiming breech of {copyright}       on the look and feel of user interfaces, most notably by       {Apple Computer} against {Microsoft} and {Hewlett-Packard} (which Apple       lost) and, later, by {Xerox} against {Apple Computer}.   Such legal       action attempts to force suppliers to make their interfaces       inconsistent with those of other vendors' products.   This can       only be bad for users and the industry as a whole.          (1995-03-03)
