User Interface

UI Preferences

Note: If you change this setting after configuring sessions, the appearance of those sessions may be unpredictable.

User interface mode

Ribbon is the default UI for Reflection. It provides a user experience similar to the most recent Office applications, including features such as super ToolTips and Ribbon galleries.

When using the Ribbon, you can have more than one document open in the same workspace. Tabs allow you to see which documents are open, and to change between documents.

Classic provides the familiar menu and toolbar interface. When using the Classic UI, only one document can be open in a workspace, and other features may not be available.

Note: All of the Help procedures are written for the Ribbon or the Browser.

 

 

Browser provides a "minimalist" look and feel that is similar to the latest Web browsers. Multiple documents are displayed in tabs.

Look and Feel / Color scheme

Select the base color for the application and Ribbon background. The color scheme does not affect your host screen, only the frame around it. To change the colors of the host screen, choose a different theme.

 

 

You can configure your workspace with two different types of "look and feel" settings that provide different ways to access the workspace menu.

With the "Office 2007" look and feel, you use the Reflection button The Reflection button to access the workspace menu.

The Reflection button

With the "Office 2010" look and feel, you use the Reflection File menu to access the workspace menu.

The Reflection button

 

Arrange documents as

Documents in the workspace are displayed in tabs by default. If you are using the Reflection Ribbon, you can choose to display them in windows that can be tiled or cascaded.

Tab strip location

Specify whether to display document tabs at the top (default), bottom, left, or right.

Show Close button on each tab

Clear to remove the Close button from the document tabs. Individual document tabs can still be closed using the Close button at the end of the tab strip.
