Ribbon-like interfaces (ala Office 2007)

[covoxer]

Good point. With customisability ribbon interface would be much more flexible.

There are at least two options for customizing the Ribbon.

Requires program knowledge and at least Visual Studio 2005 Professional.

You could obtain the Ribbon Customizer Add-in.

Oh no. This is not quite comparable to the customizing of the toolbars. Is it?

[Soquili]

Most definately not.

How do you do that? Is it a custom feature of your mouse?
I just tried and the wheel over ribbons doesn't produce any action...

I haven't got used to the ribbon yet, I just haven't played with it much. I just tried rolling the wheel with the mouse over the ribbon and it changes - great.

Didn't know it did that ---- that is handy. Thanks Xhris.

No nothing special; just wheel-scroll over the ribbon and it changes tabs. Seems it works for others too, so it's not just my mouse.
