Flare always switches back to Ribbon interface

Post by jmehaffey »

I've been using Flare for 2 years now, and I cannot get the interface to remain set as Tool Strip. It randomly switches back to the Ribbon interface. Is there a global setting I am overlooking?

Have you gone to File menu > Options, picked Interface tab, selected Tool Strip and pressed OK?
Not sure if there is another way to change global application options.

I don't know if this is related to your issue, but there is a bug that I've been meaning to log where every time that I access my client via a remote connection, Flare defaults to the ribbon layout.

Yes. I've done that. I just need to get the setting to stay set once I pick Tool Strip. Thanks.

Are you running Flare as admin? Might be that the setting is stored in the registry that is read-only for non-admin users. Just a guess.
