user interface Ribbon Bar Screen Real estate Question

[B Fruehling Around]

I had a few minutes to tweak my interface today after reviewing the 'pitch in your gems' sticky post.

Then I got to the 'Ribbon Bar' If I search 'ribbon bar mastercam' on google images,  it seems many people have this, and a few have been able to get rid of it. I wasn't able to find it discussed as a topic on this forum either.

anyone know offhand if I can get a few more pixels into my workspace?

 

 

[gcode]

right click at the top of the screen, select Minimize the Ribbon

Thank you for the suggestion and your time. Unfortunately I was not able to bring up a right click menu.

perhaps  I have a glitch, or something came locked when I installed Mastercam.

In the "X" series of versions the "ribbon bar" (not the same as the ribbon in 2017+) is a placeholder for various things what will pop up in assorted functions.  Try drawing some lines and such and watch what happens to that area.

Got it, Thanks.

99% of my geometry is imported. The Single set of commands I do tend to  use,  (curve on edge, constant parameter curve) Have something pop up, but I haven't had need of any of the commands. When you import geometry, This ribbon area also fills with transform buttons.

I've never needed these, so they just became background to go with all my other unused default mastercam toolbars.

by personalizing the interface, I noticed the ribbon bar, and created my own 'problem'
