About User Interface Customization

Customization of the user interface is done by modifying the XML-based customization (CUIx) file with the Customize User Interface (CUI) Editor.

You can edit customization (CUIx) files to make the following changes:

  • Add, delete, or change user interface elements, such as ribbon tabs and panels, and Quick Access toolbars
  • Create or change workspaces
  • Create or change macros and tooltips for commands
  • Create or change double-click actions
  • Create or change keyboard shortcuts and temporary overrides
  • Control the properties displayed when using rollover tooltips and the Quick Properties palette
  • Create and load new CUIx files

  • Ribbon panels
  • Ribbon contextual tab states
  • Toolbars
  • Pull-down menus
