# ArcSkin
**ArcSkin gives QGIS an interface inspired by ArcGIS Pro**: a ribbon, Pro-style
panes, view tabs above the map, Pro's map status bar, light flat icons for the whole
of QGIS, Pro's default symbology and colour ramps. Everything is switched on with one
click and fully reverted with the next one.
It is meant for people who know ArcGIS Pro and want to feel at home in QGIS, for
training rooms that teach both, and for organisations moving from Esri to QGIS.
> ArcSkin is an independent open source project. It is not affiliated with,
> sponsored or endorsed by Esri. ArcGIS and ArcGIS Pro are trademarks of Esri.
## Features
**Ribbon and title row**
- Ribbon with *Map*, *Insert*, *Analysis*, *View*, *Edit*, *Share*, *Help* and
*Add-ins* tabs built from QGIS's own tools, with Pro's captions and grouping.
Plugin toolbars appear on *Add-ins*.
- Nothing of QGIS is out of reach: buttons drop down QGIS's own menus
(*Analysis → Tools*: Vector, Raster, Database, Web, Mesh; *View → Panes* with
every panel, plugin ones too; *Toolbars*; *Insert → Decorations*; *Add Data*,
*New Layer*, *Select*, *Help*, *Plugins*), so items that plugins add to them
show up as well.
- *Edit* tab with all of QGIS's editing tools: digitizing techniques (curves,
stream, Bézier, NURBS), shapes (circle, ellipse, rectangle, regular polygon),
the advanced digitizing tools (parts, rings, simplify, offset, fillet,
trim/extend, reverse, split parts, merge attributes), the *Advanced
Digitizing* panel and every snapping option (types, layers, tracing,
topological editing, intersections, self-snapping, avoid overlap).
- In a window narrower than a tab, the tab scrolls sideways.
- Blue *Project* button with project commands, recent projects, import/export,
settings, the complete QGIS menu and the ArcSkin switch.
- Title row with a Quick Access Toolbar, the project name and QGIS's search box
centred at the top (like Pro's Command Search).
- Basemap gallery: Topographic (OpenTopoMap), OpenStreetMap, Imagery (Sentinel-2
cloudless), Light and Dark Gray Canvas (CARTO). Only worldwide services.
**Panes**
- *Contents* with a layer search box and filter, Pro's *List By* views (drawing
order, data source, selection, editing, snapping, labeling) and Pro-style
raster legends ("Value", *High* / *Low*).
- *Catalog* with *Project*, *Favorites* and *All* tabs, *Geoprocessing* with
toolboxes and *Find Tools*, *Symbology* with Pro page icons.
- The active pane gets Pro's blue title and frame; *View → Reset Panes* restores
the mapping, editing or geoprocessing layout.
**Map view**
- View tabs above the map. Extra 2D map views are shown in the main map area, one
at a time: each tab has its own map theme and extent, and the *Contents* pane
edits the layers of the tab you are on. 3D views and print layouts get tabs too.
- Pro's status bar under the map: editable scale, snapping / grid / constraints,
coordinates you can type in (decimal degrees, DMS, DDM, MGRS, US National Grid,
UTM and li
