Capability to resize Title bar, Tab names (of masked Ribbon) and Quick Access Toolbar
Hello,
Moving from Excel 2013 to 2016 lead to loose 1+ raw (same zooming) because Title bar, Tabs of masked Ribbon and Quick access bar are higher. This is a problem at least for these reasons :
- Sheets sized to fit a sceen (2013) ... don't fit any longer
- Screens height became smaller with 16/9 (cinema format) pushing us to scroll and scroll...Various bars (Title, Quick Access, Menu..) are now taking more space see hard copy leading us to scroll even more !
It would be great to be able to resize (height, text and icons) these bars which take a lot of space when working on a 14 ' screen.
See screenshot comparing 2013 and 2016 in request posted here :

Thank you for your help and kind regards,

This is not a problem limited to Excel. It also happens in Word to a lesser extent. It is all part of the DUMBING DOWN of Office desktop applications to allow them to work on teeny tiny PORTRAIT smartphone screens to the detriment of large LANDSCAPE 16:10 desktop monitors. Desktop monitors do not have vertical space to waste, the ribbon is to phat already.
I thought one of the key features of Win 10 was that feature to redraw stuff to fit the screen. Why is this change hardcoded into Office apps. It should be a dynamic change based on the computing environment.
