11.1.1. Controles
Clear, consistent and concise labelling of controls helps users to work out the purpose of a window or dialog they have never seen before.

Do not include text in windows that describes how to use the interface, for example You can install a new theme by dropping it here. As well as adding visual clutter, descriptive labels can also conflict with information provided in documentation.
Use standard terms. You can find a list of standard user interface terms in the GNOME Documentation Style Guide, Recommended Terminology..
