Figure 3. EiffelRibbon tool with the Size Definition Editor pinned open.
Use the Size Definition Editor to create custom size definitions for your ribbon designs. The '''Add button''' button will add a new button placeholder to a custom size definition. A selected button placeholder can be altered to show or hide its label and use its small or large size.

Figure 4. Two button placeholders in a custom size definition; one selected, small, and with label hidden, the other unselected, large with label visible.
Once a custom size definition has been designed, it can be named, saved, and used in a ribbon design.

==Scaling policy==
The notion of adaptive layout includes the ability to specify preferred sizes for elements of a group and a scaling policy that can influence how the group reacts to resizing. More detail on size definition and scaling policy is available in Microsoft's '''[http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd316927(v=vs.85).aspx ribbon documentation]'''.
The EiffelRibbon tool allows you to specify ideal sizes and scale policy for a groups elements through the '''Ideal sizes''' radio buttons and the '''Scale''' checkboxes, as shown in Figure 6 below.
