About
ArcSkin gives QGIS a ribbon interface, for users moving to QGIS from other desktop GIS software with a ribbon (such as ArcGIS Pro), for training rooms and for organisations moving to QGIS. It adds a ribbon (Map, Insert, Analysis, View, Edit, Share, Help, Add-ins) built from QGIS tools, with all of QGIS's tools and menus within reach, a Project menu and a title row with the search box; reorganised panes (Contents with List By views, Catalog, Geoprocessing, Symbology); view tabs that show one map view at a time with its own layers and extent; a map status bar with typed coordinates (DD, DMS, DDM, MGRS, USNG, UTM, linear units); a gallery of open basemaps that need no API key; an attribute table toolbar and footer; default symbology, cyan selection, label font and about 100 colour ramps; and light, flat icons for all of QGIS. English and Polish. Switching the look off restores QGIS exactly as it was. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Esri; ArcGIS and ArcGIS Pro are trademarks of Esri.
