in fact they are not.
I have their source code and I think the only difference is that when menus (and not buttons) are used, they stack vertically by default.
I only plan on including 4-10 macros activated by buttons in the ribbon and (they will normally be run by: ALT+X+C or something like that. I think the non-XML method suits me well enough for this, I just wish I could make them look the way I want.
Is there an easy way (maybe a tutorial) to convert my VBA code into XML? This is a small side project and I dont really have time to learn new languages/syntax just for a cosmetic issue.
