  2. In code, add tabs, button groups and buttons to the ribbon.

Add tab 'Project'

ui->ribbonTabWidget->addTab(QIcon(":/icons/briefcase_1.svg"), "Project");

Add button on tab 'Project' in group 'Project'

  QToolButton *openProjectButton = new QToolButton;
  openProjectButton->setText(tr("Open"));
  openProjectButton->setToolTip(tr("Open existing project"));
  openProjectButton->setIcon(QIcon(":/icons/live_folder_2.svg"));
