'''MoOLIT''' (Motif OPEN LOOK Intrinsics Toolkit) is a [[graphical user interface]] library and [[application programming interface]] (API) created by [[Unix System Laboratories]] in an attempt to create a bridge between the two competing [[look-and-feel]]s for [[Unix]] [[workstations]] at the time: [[OPEN LOOK]] and OSF [[Motif (software)|Motif]].<ref name="MoOLIT"/>

The library provides common GUI features such as boxes, menus, lists, and buttons, but allows choosing which look and feel they wanted at runtime.  MoOLIT development was a short-lived project, as the industry was moving towards Motif as the de facto GUI standard, a trend culminating in the [[Common Open Software Environment|COSE initiative]] in 1993.

MJM Software (a subsidiary of Melillo Consulting, Inc.) licensed the MoOLIT source in 1992 and ported it to Sun, HP, IBM, and DEC platforms.<ref name="Melillo1"/><ref name="Melillo2"/> Their ''MoOLIT 5.1'' product includes full Motif support for the traditional OLIT widgets not implemented in the USL version. This version of MoOLIT adds the Motif look and feel to legacy OPEN LOOK applications.
