=== Arthur === Another early implementation can be seen in the [[RISC OS|Arthur]] operating system from [[Acorn Computers]]. It is called the ''[[icon bar]]''<ref name="Ryan2011">{{cite book|author=Dan Ryan|title=History of Computer Graphics: DLR Associates Series|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=136myWlKpwEC&pg=PA358|access-date=13 June 2013|date=13 April 2011|publisher=AuthorHouse|isbn=978-1-4567-5115-9|page=358}}</ref> and remains an essential part of Arthur's succeeding [[RISC OS]] operating system. The icon bar holds icons which represent mounted disc drives and RAM discs, running applications and system utilities. These icons have their own context-sensitive menus and support drag and drop behaviour. {{wide image|Arthur Icon Bar 1987.PNG|640px|Appearance of Acorn's icon bar in 1987 under Arthur, after launching a number of devices and applications}}
