WIMP is an acronym that stands for Windows, Icons, Menus, and Pointer. It refers to a graphical user interface (GUI) paradigm used in most modern operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and many desktop Linux distributions. The term emphasizes the key elements of the user interface, which are windows that display program content, icons representing files or applications, menus that provide access to various options, and a pointer (usually a mouse cursor) for interacting with the interface.
