Tape interface for gtk and qt

Question

Is it possible to implement the tape interface in windows7 in gtk or qt? If yes, how to do it?

Answer 1

Yes, some Ribbon widget libraries have already been released.

_{see this post and this one, Sub>}

There is also QtitanRibbon , an implementation of the Microsoft Ribbon UI for QT.

Answer 2

I don’t have enough votes to vote or comment, but @Daniele Lupo’s comment on the need to sign an agreement is not quite right. There is a fairly prior art that suggests that Microsoft will not receive a patent.

Answer 3

Make sure that you use “Office User Interface Licensing” to use the ribbon (see Part 3), even if you don’t use its libraries, but it creates its own that recreate the same look and feel, because they have a patent for this interface. If you accept it, you have no problems in its implementation, otherwise I do not know.
