I am looking for a way to create ribbon, something like

Ribbon is probably a Windows thing. According to Microsoft, it's a "a command bar that organizes a program's features into a series of tabs at the top of a window." It is also a replacement for both the traditional menu bar and toolbars.

Anything idea, or if someone can point me where to look at to customize one using existing widgets, is greatly appreciated.

Ribbon hasn't always had luck being used in windows app, are you sure you want something like that ? i think it has been also removed from modern mfc

Ribbon is not required, it's the first thing comes to my mind for a placeholder for icons of shortcuts. An example of toolbar is also fine, but I may need a way to manage the icons when they grow in numbers later.

You can create a window that takes up the whole screen with two child windows:

The first housing the ribbon (tabbed view)
- Create a table(collum/row view) to group all of the needed buttons
The second housing the main application workspace.
imgui has a tooltip function that is very flexible
look into image atlas (font-awesome/fontello) to add quick placeholder icons

That's all I can help with. Check out the discord server to see if there is anyone else that can provide a better solution.
