Hi,
This is something I'm working on:

Here's the download link:
http://www.autohotkey.net/~fincs/AhkRibbonDemo.zip

Internals:
The scenic ribbon (UIFramework) is a COM object that attaches itself to a window. It communicates with the application through the IUIApplication interface that the script must implement. The downside is that the ribbon apparently uses multithreading and AHK can break, so often-called methods (like AddRef) are dummy-implemented in MCode (with things like return 1).
The ribbon design must be loaded from an application resource, so this demo just uses a Windows SDK example executable as a resource DLL.

I don't know if i'm missing the point, but what exactly does it do?

It's a demo to prove that a Scenic Ribbon can be added to an AHK GUI.
