It's huge and makes me feel like I have less working space. I like your idea! I would love for the Ribbon to be SMALLER. It’s huge and makes me feel like I have less working space. I like your idea!

Until that day comes I'll stick with this solution. For one it’s simple for users, and two no spam bots have tried to take advantage of it. Until that day comes I’ll stick with this solution.

Whats the point of it? By the way, the spam box on this comment form doesn’t seem very useful because besides being easy to read for any computer, its text and written in the source code.

Maybe soon they will develop a laptop that's small and light but has a big screen? Now that people are beginning to purchase Netbooks, screen size is once again becoming a issue.

Like in Office 2003 the toolbar could be enlarged through Windows XP. Is it possible to do the same to the Ribbons through Vista, or is there another way?Thanks Hi all

Is there any way in which the Tabs/buttons on the 2007 Ribbon can be changed to bigger/bolder size?
Like in Office 2003 the toolbar could be enlarged through Windows XP.
Is it possible to do the same to the Ribbons through Vista, or is there another way?

Thanks

On 19" LCD and larger there is always more room on the left or right side - that is where a massive menu bar should be located - closer to where you are working on the screen. But the massive menu bar is not moveable!So why does M$ not allow the massive bar to be moved? Be cause M$ wants the eyeball space at the top of the screen for ads, plain and simple.

In my case, I have plenty of space, even with a double-size ribbon. Sooner or later, 99% of computer will have higher resolution that 1024x768, so ribbon will be no problem at all.

The UI differences are big, but better. Will take a little time for me to find where everything is now. I think it is awesome as well. The UI differences are big, but better.
