Some newer programs with ribbon menus are not coded correctly, causing the ribbon to take up to 1/4 of the real estate on my 17” laptop — and it cannot be adjusted/reduced.
Whoever invented ribbon menus should be shot and don’t even wait for sunrise. They are some of the most cumbersome additions I have ever seen.
I think the whole idea for ribbons was that they are (allegedly) idiot proof. Though for you me and others they slow things down and are a distraction.
I vastly prefer the old menus on left hand top corner that were drop down. But this requires basic literacy, vocabulary and ability to read. Ribbons added annoying icons.
