I did a few tests with the UICC approach of "play with the XML, replace-the-resource, swear at Nikos, toss salt over your left-shoulder" zippity-do, and I was successful at "influencing the proceedings" in the same way as the drunken-uncle does when he leers at all the party-guests. But, really, the ribbon is (at its core) just a fancy toolbar which is "a seriously royal pain in the arse" to actually edit, and you can't do much more than put items in it that are already in the normal menus anyway - you'd never (as far as I can figure out) be able to add your own user-command speciality-items, or define extra tabs, or anything like that. (Well, extra tabs might be possible, but the way Nikos' has got it intertwined with the string resource texts is head-scratching to decipher.)nikos wrote:It is a binary format so probably you could somehow decipher it if you would care to hack it but there's no "official" way to do it
Editing the XML markup manually is - well - a minor adventure unto itself. But it is possible - I'm just not convinced there's any real value in providing a future-proof approach (Nikos would have to release the XML for every new update of x2, or add bloat by storing it uncompiled in the resources, which seems a waste since maybe 2 users in this part of the galaxy would ever actually have a use for it).
