It's been a while since I produced that screenshot, so in all fairness, I can guarantee to you that even if you use the ribbon interface, it will be somewhat cleaner than what you see.<br />Furthermore, I have recently figured out a way to make the user interface interchangeable: you can swap between menu/toolbar and ribbon at any time. I think giving this option will produce the most pleasant experience for most users. I'm also trying to patch or derive from the ribbon to allow folding (ala MS Word).<br />More importantly than all that though, the autocompletion engine is starting to work!<br /><br />I will post something on this soon. ;)D.devhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06264595604863400492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-615048298756363057.post-58688111717603703362010-07-27T10:08:53.673-07:002010-07-27T10:08:53.673-07:00Great :-)
