Office Ribbon Editor v2.2.1

What's new in v2.2.1

Word add-ins

• Improved .dotm packaging and VBA project locking after obfuscation.

PowerPoint add-ins

• Improved .ppam creation and editing workflow.
• Generate callbacks even when the module does not exist yet.
• Read VBA modules from existing PowerPoint add-ins.
• Obfuscate the VBA project before creating the installer.

Safer VBA protection

• The original add-in is never modified during packaging.
• Obfuscation is applied only to the installer copy.
• PowerPoint verifies that its internal VBA project was replaced before the installer is compiled.
• If verification fails, no installer is created with unprotected code.

Reduced antivirus false positives

• The validator is generated as pure VBA code.
• Packaging avoids behaviors that commonly trigger heuristic detections.

Installer identity and branding

• Every add-in keeps a stable AppId in its own .addininstaller file for reliable upgrades.
• Custom .ico installer icons are copied explicitly from the configured path.

Editor improvements

• Expanded Monaco autocomplete for XML RibbonX, VBA, VB.NET, B4X, JavaScript, TypeScript, C#, C++, and Markdown.
• New themes: GitHub Dark, Nord, Solarized Dark, Ribbon Light, and High Contrast.
• Host-aware title bar colors for Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and the neutral workspace.

Feedback welcome

Please report which Office host you use, whether installers work on another computer, any antivirus alerts, and which workflow should be improved next.
