NeXTSTEP originated or innovated a large number of other GUI concepts which became common in other operating systems: 3D chiseled widgets, large full-color icons, system-wide drag and drop of a wide range of objects beyond file icons, system-wide piped services, real-time scrolling and window dragging, properties dialog boxes called "inspectors", and window modification notices (such as the saved status of a file). It introduced the idea of the Dock (carried through OpenStep and into macOS) and the Shelf. The toolkits are the canonical development system for all of the software on the system. NeXTSTEP is a preeminent implementation of the last three items.
