Ribbon UI Overview

Modern applications are not conceivable without an interface offered by Microsoft in they office solutions. This concept is called the Ribbon UI and currently it is the main attribute that makes the application keeping up with the times. Detailed description about it your find on this page - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb386097.aspx.

QtitanRibbon - implementation of the concept of Microsoft Ribbon for Digia Qt.C++

QtitanRibbon component implements the concept of Microsoft Ribbon for Qt. This component is designed for any type of commercial applications developed using Qt. Along with Qt, the component provides a unique opportunity to obtain an application, which has a modern look and feel for the three major platforms that exist on the globe. For Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.

QtitanRibbon provides 5 Office styles with various themes for the final application. Office 2016, Office 2013, Office 2010, Office 2007 with Blue, Black, Aqua, Silver palettes. Here are some screenshots that show how it looks in reality:

Office 2016 (Colorful)Ribbon Office 2016 style with colorful palette

Office 2016 (Black)Ribbon Office 2016 style with black palette

Office 2013 (white)Ribbon Office 2013 style with white palette

Office 2013 (Gray)Ribbon Office 2013 style with gray palette

Office Windows 7Ribbon Office Windows 7 style

Office 2010 (Blue)Ribbon Office 2010 style with blue palette

Office 2010 (Black)Ribbon Office 2010 style with black palette

Office 2007 (Blue)Ribbon Office 2007 style with blue palette

Office 2007 (Black)Ribbon Office 2007 style with black palette

As you can see the look exactly the same on all three platforms. We taken care of it. There is only one difference. By default, on every platform theme UI initialization differently. Windows is a classics - so switched palette is Blue. Linux it is a platform for smart guys so the initialization palette is Black. For Mac OSX the native color is light-blue so the default theme is Scenic. In any case, the theme and palette of Ribbon UI can be modified at any time, regardless of platform.
