Linux is famous for its command Line operations, but with the vast usage of Linux, it remains no more biased towards command-Line, it equally relies on GUI(Graphical User Interface).

Here, we will be discussing the creation and execution of a simple Graphical Dialog box using a GTK+ application called “Zenity“.

What is Zenity?

Zenity is an open-source and cross-platform application that displays GTK+ Dialog Boxes in the command line and uses shell scripts. It allows one, to ask and present information to/from shell in Graphical Boxes.

The application lets you create Graphical dialog boxes in command-line and makes the interaction between the user and the shell very easy.
You must be anxious about the Full form of GTK+ : “Good to Know.”

Zenity is very simple especially when you don’t want to go to complex programming.
