Title bars
Use title bars sparingly. Only include title bars when users navigate hierarchical data in your application. For example, a
title bar can show users where they are in relation to where they have been. Avoid including a title bar for an application
with only one screen.
Dialog boxes
Dialog boxes should be used sparingly because they interrupt user workflow. Instead, provide information in line with a
specific item where possible. For example, if a user doesn't complete a required field in a form, your application should
identify the incomplete field instead of displaying a dialog box that describes the error.
