Re: [flexcoders] Ribbon in FLEX
Just a note. The true power of Ribbon isn't necessarily just a tab/hbox navigation, it's also about context in that the navigation reacts to elements you may have with your application. Thus producing contextual sensitive additional menu items where the end user invokes sensitive areas.

Re: [flexcoders] Ribbon in FLEX
Ribbon is not a good UI, IMHO. It comes from Microsoft's idea that every command must have a corresponding icon, which in the past made for some of the most cluttered UIs out there. It's really hard to find what you need in the new Office ribbons, and I would think twice before following this trend. If you feel you need a ribbon in your application, maybe it's time to rethink your UI. -- Gleb Dolgich Twitter: @gbd Web: http://www.pixelespressoapps.com On 30 Mar 2009, at 20:41, Scott Barnes wrote: Just a note.
