<p>Incorporating these elements of the guidelines can enhance your application without requiring a major
redesign, and all GTK+ and GNOME applications can benefit from them.</p>

<p>These Human Interface Guidelines have been designed to assist you in determining the best design for your
application, rather than proposing a single template to be used in all applications. As such, while they
recommend <link xref="header-bars">header bars</link> over <link xref="menu-bars">menu bars</link>, they
provide guidance on both approaches.</p>
