It has been a while since I released an new beta build of RibbonCustomizer. But, here is one

A lot of bug fixes went into this release, but the most notable change is the ability to pick your own icons. You can now use any Office 2007 icon for your macro buttons, or simply change the icon of any Office 2007 control you are using in your own group.

Download the new beta build.

P.S.: You cannot use your own custom icon in this build. I will provide that feature as well, but I wanted to just post this build as is, because it has been a while since there was a new build.

RibbonCustomizer has been using an icon from Microsoft Office (you might have recognized it as the icon used for Office button, Prepare). Not anymore! RibbonCustomizer has now its own logo and icons designed by Terberg Design.
Here is a preview of the logo:

Watch for the new logo and the icons on this website and upcoming beta versions soon!

I just posted another beta version of RibbonCustomizer V1.2. This one has added support to create the following items:

• menu
• box
• buttonGroup

If you don’t know what these RibbonX elements do, look at the Classic UI tabs. The Classic UI tabs are three rows of item. Each row is a separate box. The first row is only menus, while the second and third row contain buttons grouped together in button groups.

To add these items to your customizations, look in the same Custom Item list that you can find macros under.

Get the newest beta.

You can now use RibbonCustomizer to add macros to your Ribbon in Access, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint and Word. The support in Outlook is flaky, so I might have to remove it in a later build.

If you want to give it a try, download the latest beta version.

Update: In my excitement about posting this, I forgot to mention how to actually use it

To add a macro, go into the Customize Ribbon dialog, then either create a new group or select an already created one. Switch to the Customize Group tab. On the right hand side, select Custom Items from the drop down, then pick Macro and click Add Command. After that, you have to provide the name of the macro and then its label.

RibbonCustomizer V1.1 ist nun auch in Deutsch erhältlich! Sollten Sie eine deutsche Version von Office 2007 installiert haben, dann wird RibbonCustomizer automatisch in Deutsch für Sie erscheinen. Ansonsten ist das Programm wie bisher nur in Englisch. Das Setupprogramm und die gesamte Dokumentation sind allerdings vollständig in Englisch. pschmid.net Ltd. bietet jedoch kostenlosen technischen Support in Deutsch und Englisch an.

Falls Sie bereits V1.1 von RibbonCustomizer installiert haben, dann entfernen Sie diese Version bevor Sie die neueste V1.1 (1.1.2691.28115) einspielen. Falls Sie kein Interesse an der deutschen Benutzeroberflächensprache haben und bereits V1.1 verwenden, besteht kein Grund diese neue Version zu installieren.

V1.1 mit deutscher Sprachunterstützung herunterladen (englische Webseite)

Parallel zur Verfügbarkeit in Deutsch ist nun auch eine dt. Übersichtsseite für RibbonCustomizer verfügbar. Diese Seite kann bequem via http://ribboncustomizer.de aufgerufen werden. Die englische Übersichtsseite ist äquivalent direkt via http://ribboncustomizer.com aufrufbar.

RibbonCustomizer V1.1 is now available in German! If you use a German Office 2007, then RibbonCustomizer will automatically appear in German for you. Otherwise, the program is in English as before. The setup program and the entire documentation are only available in English though. pschmid.net Ltd., however, offers free technical support in English and German.

If you have already V1.1 of RibbonCustomizer installed, then please remove this version before you install the newest V1.1 (1.1.2691.28115). If you have no interest in the German UI language and are already using V1.1, then there is no reason to install this new version.
