Switch from ribbon to Xchange Viewer-like smaller toolbar? SOLVED

The Ribbon toolbar of Xchange editor is somehow too fat - a waste of valuable desktop space

Is there a way to switch to the good old, small toolbar in XChange Viewer?

or can this be added in the next release?

Hello Daniel, thank you for your comments and suggestions although they seem to me wrong. First of all: From my point of view the Arial font should be the Arial font.

Re: Bug: Text letters are only partially condensend when entering text

I suppose that these textboxes are using an embedded sub-set of a specific font that is not available by default in Windows itself. If that is the case, you will see that it are always the same characters that are causing a problem in a given textbox. Look into the Text Editing Tools / Format-ribbo...

Once you see the cursor blinking into the text of the textbox, you can resize it without problem.
Works.
