Mac-style Menu Bar for GTK and Java/Swing applications!

[avb]

When I try to install the deb I get an error:

"Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libpango1.0-0"

I checked and libpango1.0-0 is installed. Do I need to install dev packages?

Problem is that you dont have installed updates from gutsy-proposed. This deb fixes problem.

Thanks that worked.

Apparently it is not possible to have a picture as background for the gnome-panel?!

Yes that's correct. You more or less need a theme that supports the mac menu, otherwise it looks ugly. A great theme, and one of the most complete, is iMetal:

I'm now going to work on having Amora back up to scratch. As you can see from my attached image on the previous page it doesn't support the mac menu.

mac menu applet:

tar jxvf gnome-macmenu-applet-1.0.11.tar.bz2
cd gnome-macmenu-applet-1.0.11
sudo cp gnome-macmenu-applet /usr/lib/gnome-applets/
sudo cp GNOME_MacMenuApplet.server /usr/lib/bonobo/servers/

gtk+ patch:

gzip -d gtk+-2.12.0-r2-gtkmenubar.diff.gz
sudo apt-get install build-essential
apt-get source gtk+2.0
tar zxvf gtk+2.0_2.12.0.orig.tar.gz
cd gtk+2.0-2.12.0
patch -p0 < ../gtk+-2.12.0-r2-gtkmenubar.diff
./configure --prefix=/usr

you can do before patching gtk+

sudo apt-get install ...packages from the list above...

The menu applet doesnt work.
I get this:

The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_MacMenuApplet".

I followed your instructions and i think the gtk patching worked (because now the menu isnt in the windows, but just below the taskbar), however the mac menu applet doesnt.

Would you mind letting me know what could be wrong? Thx.

I know if you follow his guide almost to a T it works perfect. The only thing I had to change was 5 commands:

From:

gzip -d gtk+-2.12.0-r2-gtkmenubar.diff.gz
sudo apt-get install build-essential
apt-get source gtk+2.0
tar zxvf gtk+2.0_2.12.0.orig.tar.gz
cd gtk+2.0-2.12.0
patch -p0 < ../gtk+-2.12.0-r2-gtkmenubar.diff
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install

To:

gzip -d gtk+-2.12.0-r2-gtkmenubar.diff.gz
sudo apt-get install build-essential
apt-get source gtk+2.0
sudo tar zxvf gtk+2.0_2.12.0.orig.tar.gz
sudo cd gtk+2.0-2.12.0
sudo patch -p0 < ../gtk+-2.12.0-r2-gtkmenubar.diff
sudo ./configure --prefix=/usr
sudo make
sudo make install

Simply changing it to super user because the downloaded source is locked to root.

Hello,

I made a package of applet and patched gtk for gutsy. Works for me.

HOWTO INSTALL:

1. Install macmenu-applet_0.1-2_i386.deb
2. Download libgtk2.0-part1.tar.bz2, libgtk2.0-part2.tar.bz2 and install.sh
3. Go to this directory in terminal
4. Run sudo sh install.sh
5. Add macmenu applet to a gnome-panel
6. Log off/Log on

HOWTO UNINSTALL:

1. run 'sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgtk2.0-0'

Can I get the debian source package?

I did follow it exactly. Is it because i am using 64bit gutsy?
