Toolbars, Menubars & Statusbars

Toolbars and Menubars are features common to most GUIs, you'll be used to seeing them along the top of apps, such as MS Word.
Statusbars are also useful features, they allow you to show information about what's going on in a GUI, usually along the bottom of the app.

Toolbar

Toolbars (sometimes known as ribbons) appear across the top of a GUI.
They offer a series of buttons to click, which can be used to change settings/functionality in a GUI.

NB. Icons don't work in python 2.7, due to an issue showing PNG images.

Toolbar 

tools = ["ABOUT", "REFRESH", "OPEN", "CLOSE", "SAVE",
        "NEW", "SETTINGS", "PRINT", "SEARCH", "UNDO",
        "REDO", "PREFERENCES", "HOME", "HELP", "CALENDAR",
        "WEB", "OFF"]

app.addToolbar(tools, tbFunc, findIcon=True)
