Overview

The Microsoft Office Fluent user interface (UI) feature replaces the current system of layered menus, toolbars, and task panes in Microsoft Office applications with a simpler system of interfaces optimized for efficiency and discoverability. UI extensibility introduces an innovative model that you can use to enhance the user experience. You use extensible markup language (XML) and one of several conventional programming languages to manipulate the components that make up the Fluent UI. The following sections define and describe the components, methods, and attributes that you use to customize the Fluent UI. With this information, you can create a rich, intuitive experience that maximizes efficiency and productivity for your customers.
