Vertical Ribbon Option?

[bentingle]

First of all, thank you! You've done wonders, and this is so useful. I was curious if it would make sense to add an option to make the ribbon vertical on the right, like with some third party plugins? Or maybe that's easy to do myself if I learn more editing..

Thanks again!

Thank you for the feedback. Really glad to hear the add-in is helping you! About the vertical ribbon idea: the current structure of the add-in is based on a PPAM (VBA macro add-in), and PowerPoint’s Ribbon framework only allows a horizontal Ribbon in this format. To create a true vertical panel like some third-party tools have, I would need to rebuild the add-in using VSTO/COM or a similar framework. Those let you create custom task panes, which can be docked on the right and behave like a vertical Ribbon. But it’s a completely different development stack (C#, .NET, installer, etc.). So it’s definitely possible, just not within the PPAM architecture.
