The Ribbon Bar

The ribbon bar in TinyTERM sits right below the menu bar and provides several buttons, some of which are programmable. It may be turned on and off from the View menu, or from the Display Options section of the Global Preferences dialog, available from the Options menu.

There are several ribbon bar styles available. Each has a different set of buttons, though some functions are common to all three. Most buttons also have tooltips which display when the mouse pointer is left on them for a second.




TinyTERM Classic


This is the largest ribbon bar. As a result, it's also the only ribbon bar with button labels.
