I have created a plugin to allow developers to create their own advanced tabs, making it easier to create these sorts of tabs by themselves without waiting for me to update them. Give it a shot!
I have created a list of .json files that brings back the layout of the old ribbon to the Next Gen Ribbon. It doesn’t contain all of the old tabs, but contains some of the most used and requested ones from what I’ve seen. If you wish for me to add more, feel free to reply, and I’ll look into it.
Also, feedback is appreciated! I especially hope this is useful for the people that still haven’t gotten used to the new layout, or simply want something closer to the old one.
I highly recommend you use these with the compact mode as well.
Note: Certain buttons/menus may not be visible in certain conditions. For example, Team Create related buttons will only show up when the place is in Team Create mode.
Thanks! Would be great to see them under the “Checkbox” type. Or perhaps a new component?
Also, I do wish we had a way to see all of the available properties such as PluginId in a way though. Would make my job of adding them easier without doing too much hacking.
Where is the test tab? Belive me or not i used that very often.
Also this could be a me prob lem but the little icons in the model tab (asset manager, toolbox etc) dont work for me, only when i add them separately.
That might be a bug then. I have no control over the buttons and what they do besides the styling unfortunately. Might file a report for it however. (You can also file it, if you have access and the time.)
Also, I’ll see what I can do with the “Test” tab. I’m still waiting on the few remaining options and components from the old Ribbon, so I can update the tabs to be closer to the older ones.
Oh alright, ive tried recreating it myself but i couldnt find some of the features, best case scenario, they make stuff like this built in when it fully released.
Fair enough, pretty sure they did mention adding more customizeability (hope i typed that right) somewhere in the forum post, + multiple people asking for similar stuff so yeah i guess we’ll see what happens. also ty for making this
Thanks for making this, will help muscle memory get used to this new UI better
Though gotta agree, wish the Test tab was here too, used that very often before.
Having to press the little viewport options gear icon to get to these settings is a bit, unintuitive? Can’t explain it well, its just off imo, they should’ve been moved into a new Tab (or the Test tab). At the very least you can set shortcuts for the things you use frequently
Is there any reason in particular why small buttons organized like this fail to work? It seems any button that’s smaller or stacked with another loses all functionality
I’d file a bug report but I don’t know if this is an unfinished feature or a bug that’s already known about.
We used to have this available in the Manage Tabs UI but took it out since it was kind of obscure.
