The appearance (look) and interactive style (feel) of software whose uniqueness to a particular platform or application defines the aesthetics and values of that application and how users subjectively respond to it. The look-and-feel is considered the front end of the software, whereas the abstract functionality is the back end. The look-and-feel is often considered to incorporate the copyrightable aspects of the user interface -- those aspects not entirely determined by the functional requirements.
