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

Hooray, I figured it out.
Apparently the applet was moved to the far right of the panel so I could not see it, and apparently it is working perfectly.
I saw a thin line that I did not know what it was and voila, there it was.

I didn't expect that svn 1175 can actually work. It was quite buggy on my own computer.(and that's what drove me to write those IPC stuff on 1176 and form a new basis).

In fact there are two applications that give me some bugs. The first one is epiphany which doesn't show bookmarks in tha toolbar anymore, and the second one is Gparted which actually make the applet crash.
However, I don't use Gparted every day and bookmarks are still available via "popup style" box.

@ habub: I've got libatk1.0-0 version 1.22.0-0ubuntu1 installed on my computer and the libatk1.0-dev. They are normally installed by default because of Pidgin I think. So I don't know why you cannot install them. Perhaps trying to change your repositories server is a way to explorer .

@ Laviano: Are you trying to install my debs ?

I used to have the same problem.

Got it resolved by using the compiled MacMenuApplet .

To save ur time. download the attachment.

Hi, how can I use your tar packet?
It contains 2 files I think the one who I need is macmenu-applet...
If you can tell me how I'll be happy to run my macmenu applet on my Hardy..

The post and archive you're referring to are quite out of date.
You may want to try globalmenu which is developped by rainwoodman. Packages and install instructions (follow hardy instructions in your case) can be found on globalmenu website :

You don't need to install the .udeb. In fact, I don't why did I put them into the archive. Just install all the debs for gtk and then the deb for the applet with some kind of: sudo apt-get install *.deb
and then it should be ok

This doesn't work with Firefox since Firefox is a XUL application, not a GTK one. It also doesn't work with some apps like openoffice. I don't know for opera.
