## What it is
SARibbon is a C++ Ribbon UI control library for Qt that provides Microsoft Office/WPS-style ribbon interfaces with tabs, panels, galleries, and QSS-based theming. It supports Qt 5.14+ and Qt 6, works on Windows, Linux, and macOS, and offers Python bindings via PyQt5/PyQt6/PySide6.

## Use cases
- add an office-style ribbon bar to a Qt desktop application
- build a complex industrial or CAD-like desktop UI with tabbed toolbars
- create a ribbon interface with minimized mode and contextual tabs
- theme a Qt application with Office 2013/2016/2021 or dark ribbon styles
- use a ribbon UI from Python with PyQt or PySide

## When to choose
- you are building a Qt desktop app that needs a Microsoft Office-like ribbon interface
- you need cross-platform ribbon support on Windows, Linux, and macOS
- you want QSS-based theme customization with built-in Office and dark themes

## When to avoid
- your application does not use Qt
- you need a native platform ribbon (e.g., MFC Ribbon or Windows Ribbon API)
- you want a general-purpose widget toolkit rather than a ribbon control

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: ui-components, gui
- domain: desktop-applications, cross-platform, web-design
- platform: windows, cpp, python, cross-platform
- tags: qt, ribbon-ui, office-ribbon, qss-theming, qt5, qt6, pyqt, linux, macos
