Interface Overview

The splash screen is a graphical image or animation that is displayed when an application or software program is launched.

A Blender workspace is a customized layout of windows and panels within the Blender interface that is designed to suit a particular workflow or task.

Workspaces are used to organize the various tools and features of Blender in a way that is most efficient and productive for the user. Each workspace can be customized to include different windows and panels, and can be saved and loaded for future use.

The top bar in the Blender workspace is a horizontal bar located at the top of the interface, above the 3D viewport. It contains several menus and options that provide access to various features and settings in Blender. The top bar includes menus for file management, editing modes, object selection, view options, and rendering settings. It also includes buttons for adding objects, toggling between different modes, and accessing the preferences and add-ons. The top bar is a central location for many of Blender's most commonly used features and can be customized to include additional options or add-ons.

The status bar in Blender is a narrow horizontal panel located at the bottom of the interface, below the 3D viewport. It provides information about the current state of the program and the active tool or feature. The status bar displays important information such as the current mode, selected object or component, the number of vertices, edges, and faces in the active mesh, and the current frame number for animation playback. It also displays status messages and warnings, and provides access to various system settings and preferences. The status bar is a helpful tool for monitoring the progress of operations and keeping track of important information while working in Blender.
