Fluent.Ribbon is a WPF control library that implements a Microsoft Office-style ribbon user interface for .NET desktop applications. It provides controls such as RibbonTabControl, Backstage, Gallery, QuickAccessToolbar, and ScreenTip, with a showcase application demonstrating all features.

Use cases

• add an Office-style ribbon toolbar to a WPF application
• implement a Backstage view like in Microsoft Office
• create a QuickAccessToolbar in a .NET desktop app
• build gallery controls in a WPF UI
• replace the default WPF menu with a ribbon interface
• make a Windows desktop app look like Office

When to choose

• you are building a WPF desktop application that needs an Office-like ribbon UI
• you want a free, MIT-licensed alternative to commercial ribbon controls
• you need mature, well-documented WPF ribbon controls with a showcase app

When to avoid

• you are not using WPF or the .NET ecosystem
• you need a cross-platform UI toolkit (e.g., Avalonia, MAUI, web)
• you only need simple menus or toolbars without ribbon complexity
