My team just finished a project were we implemented the Ribbon bar using the DotNetBar Suite: http://www.devcomponents.com/dotnetbar/.
We are currently conducting training sessions and I haven't seen any major problems besides the file menu. No one wants to click on it. Hmmm... maybe because all your other features are clearly pointed out on the ribbon, so why hide others under a big round button? The contextual ribbons which only appear when certain items are selected are great. I have noticed if you include more than 2 sub-tabs within a contextual ribbon it causes some confusion as to which features appear on which tab. I will warn you that it took a LONG time to organize everything correctly. Some users would get very annoyed from having to click back and forth between the tabs. Try to keep items that they use frequently on the main tab to avoid this. ________________________________________________________________ *Come to IxDA Interaction08 | Savannah* February 8-10, 2008 in Savannah, GA, USA Register today: http://interaction08.ixda.org/ ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
