This study discusses the preferred highlighting mode for graphical user interface (GUI) design. The study investigated the effects of different highlighting modes on the search time and accuracy of the element on the screen. The experimental factors were the type of highlighting (color, bold, or color and bold), the target highlighting (highlighted or not highlighted), and the number of elements on GUI (few or many). The participants had to search for a predetermined target on the screen. The evaluation measures were the reaction time and percentage correctly identified. The statistical analysis result shows that bold highlighting had the shortest search time, and color highlighting had the worst accuracy. Under the conditions of this experiment, bold highlighting should contribute to the design of the screen for an easier search of information in terms of both search speed and accuracy.

本研究讨论了图形用户界面 (GUI) 设计的首选突出显示模式。该研究调查了不同突出显示模式对元素在屏幕上的搜索时间和准确性的影响。实验因素是突出显示的类型（颜色、粗体或颜色和粗体）、目标突出显示（突出显示或不突出显示）以及 GUI 上的元素数量（很少或很多）。参与者必须在屏幕上搜索预定目标。评价指标是正确识别的反应时间和百分比。统计分析结果表明，粗体突出显示的搜索时间最短，颜色突出显示的准确度最差。在本实验条件下，
