Hi Laurent, a few months ago I've also player around with the Hexapixel Ribbon library, but I've decided to not use it. I think, the concept of a "ribbon bar" is specific for Microsoft applications, especially for Windows users. MaOS and Linux users have other UI concepts. Nonetheless, I think we can work on such a ribbon widget for SWT, since a lot of applications are running under Windows (in my experience). Therefore it's good to have a well known concept of a UI. Btw, there's also a "Ribbon Widget Toolkit" (https://code.google.com/archive/p/rwt/), but it is completely in Chinese language and I haven't work with it.
