The ribbon of TiCon4
The ribbon contains different menu items. Some tabs appear on the ribbon only when you need them. The menu Home is the initial tab, which is always available. This tab contains many of the most frequently used commands in TiCon, e.g. functions for navigation, for organizing the work area or changing the settings.
The display of a ribbon changes according to the size of the monitor. The ribbon in TiCon is compressed by adjusting the position of the control elements to smaller monitors.
