Hello!
So a couple of months ago I finally made the move from SystemMenu to RibbonBar after I remembered that RibbonBar can be customized, and the first thing I did was removed all the fluff I didn’t need and got everything (literally) on the same page.
… and well now I’m making it babby’s first fancy release after spending awhile polishing it yesterday. Here’s a quick preview. Quick access setup not included.
[size=4]What is it?[/size]
Basically, it’s a RibbonBar configuration that [strike]was somewhat blindly thrown together to fit my own needs[/strike] is made for the studio user that likes the features of RibbonBar but hate its face.
[ul]
[li]No shenanigans like 2 tabs that have a lot of the same things and a whole tab that is dedicated to a measly 10 plugins… and well no tabs in general.[/li]
[li]No fluff like the Effects, Spawn and Part buttons (let me know if any of you actually want these! I got rid of them since I’m used to using Advanced Objects for inserting just about anything, but maybe others would like the convenience). Kept the 3 script buttons though because they’re kinda neat.[/li]
[li]Small and text-less buttons. [size=1]Mostly.[/size][/li]
[size=4]Installation[/size]
[ol]
[li]Download this.[/li]
[li]If you already know where to put it, do it and skip the rest of this. If not, visit this page, right click on the studio launcher, click Properties and then Open File Location. Look for the folder that has the same name as the text that’s on that page and open it.[/li]
[li]Replace RobloxStudioRibbonRelease.xml with the one you downloaded.[/li]
[li]There you go! Open studio, switch your UI style over to RibbonBar, restart studio and you will be using SysRibbon.[/li]
[size=4]Known Problems[/size]
[ul]
[li]Currently you will have to manually replace the xml every time studio updates. Personally I don’t mind since I just do it while it’s updating, but if you do mind you could check out this. I haven’t tried it out myself but it sounds like it was literally made for this. Also poke an admin about it or something, it’d be nice to give ribbon xml a more permanent home.[/li]
[li]Hinges and motors can only be applied one at a time. This is a general problem that you’ll also find in the standard RibbonBar.[/li]
[li]Anchor is not a tool. To my knowledge there’s nothing that can be done about it.[/li]
[li]On big monitors at least, a lot of the main tab is blank. If it ends up being a big problem to people, I’ll see what I can do about it.[/li]
[li]Naturally the Toggle Local Handles button is a bit buggy. It functions just fine, but the button itself will randomly appear to be stuck on or off (it’s mostly just there to remind you that it’s a thing anyway).[/li]
[li]There’s nothing I can do about how the plugins tab lays out your plugins. Most I can really do to that tab is get rid of the “Tools” group so you have a little more room for plugins.[/li]
[/ul]
