A collection of buttons (icons) grouped on screen that provide a quick way to select available functions by pointing and clicking. Tool palettes were originally used with graphics applications such as paint, drawing and image editing programs. With the advent of graphical interfaces, they migrated to business applications. Some tool palettes can be customized, allowing you to display only the tools you use most often and leaving the rest to be selected by menus. See toolbar.
