[MOISES]

Thank you.

Any plans to implement it?.

What about Office 2016 style in Ribbon?.

[nageswaragunupudi]

I am using Office 360.
This is how Excel sheet looks.


Adopting the same style, this is how xbrowse looks:


Do you call it 2016 style? If not what style we can call this?
If 2016 style is different, can you post a screen shot of Excel 2016 style?

Nages,

If you do a search for "Excel 2016" and then select "images" you will get a lot of screenshots of the Excel app. I suspect this is the style he is referring to. I found the same issue when working with the ribbonbar-it didn't look like the Microsoft apps. However, in this case the only difference I see is the color of the highlighted color title is gray in the Excel app and green in the Excel 365 version. Hmm, now I see in the Excel app, the current cell outline is also green.

I also note that the Excel app has a green ribbonbar, but that is a separate issue.

Mr. James

Thanks. But I could not find the highlight color in any of the images. The gray color is not the highlight color but column/row indicator color.

We are about to enter 2019. Isn't 2016 too old now? Why can we not adopt the color scheme of Office 360 as 2018 style?

Nages,

>But I could not find the highlight color in any of the images.

Unless you enlarge them, they are hard to see since the highlight color is a dark green.

>The gray color is not the highlight color but column/row indicator color.

Sorry, I said "highlighted color title" but I meant to say "highlighted column color."



So the highlighted column color is dark gray and the highlight cell color is dark green (matching the ribbonbar). At some point Microsoft introduced color themes and they default to a different color for each app (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc.).

>We are about to enter 2019. Isn't 2016 too old now?

I agree that maybe going back to 2016 isn't a good idea at this date. However, the color theme is going to continue to be an issue every year or two, so it would be wise to make an interface that we could use to easily change the colors. I don't know about xBrowse but in the ribbonbar class it is impossible to change some of the colors without either modifing the class source or subclassing. In the ribbonbar a lot of the colors are set with codeblocks containing RGB() values which can't be changed from outside the class.

>Why can we not adopt the color scheme of Office 360 as 2018 style?

Personally, I would prefer to use the 2018 style so we can match the xbrowses with the Ribbonbar color themes. I suspect also that users may see the separate Office apps as a higher end product. Maybe others on this forum would like to express their opinions...

Thank you.

Then we provided 2018 style in FWH 18.12 for XBrowse

[MOISES]

Thanks. Can you please upload a .exe example?.

What about Ribbon?.

Thank you.

[nageswaragunupudi]

The appearance is what I posted above.

Changes to Ribbon will take time.

[MOISES]

Thank you very much for your attention and quick response.

I want to express the importance and urgency of the graphic changes. Users don't appreciate a compiler change or the FW_RecToJson function, but they do appreciate a graphic look change. As we all are aware, one of the first ways to sell a software is by eye-catching.

I would like to conclude, once again, by expressing my gratitude for the excellent efforts of the entire Fivetech team.
