Along with the task title, the title bar for each window contains the page number and title of the page.

Below the title bar, the window is split in two. The left area is for displaying pixmaps pertaining to the window. The right side contains all text and input areas. The input/output area takes up the entire width of the window if no pixmap is provided or the wizard is running in character mode.

Below these display areas is the point help area. This area is used to display short help messages pertaining to the mouse location.

Below the point help area is the command button area. This area contains at least the four buttons: Cancel, Help, Previous, and Next. You also have the option of displaying a Tips button, which displays hints on what to do in the input area. The Next button appears with the word Finish on the last screen. Choosing this button will end the user input portion of the wizard.
