    - Which method did you use ?
    - Note that won't work with firefox, open office, kde apps and few other incompatible apps.
    - When you launch a gtk app (gedit for ex) is the menu stand in the applet, is the menu stand in the window, detached of the window ?

    I used the method that is first under the "installation Instructions" (packages)

    as for running gedit, the menus dont come off or anything... i have them set to be removable in gTweakUI but they dont seem to work.

    Thanks for the help.

    I may try to uninstall and reinstall global menu to see if it helps.

    EDIT: just tried to reinstall by building the source from scratch and now I dont have any icons or menus on my desktop.... ie: right click on desktop and nothing comes up.... help!

    EDIT2: Fixed the dealio with the desktop... but no luck on the bar

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

    Since I installed the "old-style" mac-menu gtk patch a few months ago I have not been following this thread.

    I need to install it all again as I recently did a fresh install on my machine.

    I was happy with how to get build the old patch from source, and happy with how it worked. Now I see this new "global-menu" on the wiki.

    Just wondering how stable / easy to install is this new one? Has it been working for most people, and does it look OK? If not 'yes' to all of these, I may as well stick to the one I have used before.

    Thanks

    Yeah a new development thread should really be started, so people don't get confused, cause there are 2 different names (macmenu and globalmenu), and many different directions being thrown around. After 100 pages these threads become kind of hard to navigate

    We're working on having a whole subforum for GnomeGlobalMenu. That would mean a Dev thread, a Help thread, a Feature request , and so on.
    The request has been made , and ubuntu-geek is reviewing it.

    I strongly support this idea. I won't spam the staff members to say that, just hope they will accept the idea since global menu is now a real project and people use it and want it a lot.

    All very nice, and I really appreciate all the work so many of you have put into this... but for now, which one should I try?

    Is the global menu good enough yet for everyday use, or do I stick with the old mac-menu that I am familiar with? Recommendations???

    The new one is the way to go imho. I have one of the first version installed, and it was already better than the old one.

    I still havent heard any help for my situation... I have installed the thing but it doesnt work for any apps. Maybe its because i have both Global Menu and Mac Menu installed? (I dont even know the difference, I thougth they were the same thing...)
