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

    I apologize that my noob a-- didn't read all 295 pages in advance, but how do I get this to work on 10.04 Ubunutu? I also read in the thread that it's already included in Kubuntu? (I have both de's installed) Is that true? How do I enable in 10.04? Thanks in advance all!

    But even when I changed every single instance of text[ ? ] = @colour_var in the file to white the menubar text stayed black (some other text, like file names in nautilus changed to white).

    Did I miss something? Is there any other way?
    I change the clock text to white by adding this
    Code:
     style "panel-clock"
     {
       fg[NORMAL] = "#FFFFFF"
     }
    widget "*.clock-applet-button.*" style "panel-clock"
    to ~/.gtkrc-2.0
    can I do something similar for globalmenu?
    Oh, sorry that I forgot to mention /usr/share/themes directory. And yes I think I'm in this thread almost from its begining

    in the theme it's the fg[NORMAL] that is in the style that matches GtkMenu you need to set to a bright color.

    if you can't find it, try this in your ~/.gtkrc :
    Code:
    style "menu"
     {
       fg[NORMAL] = "#FFFFFF"
     }
    widget_class "*<GtkMenu>*"				style "menu"
    widget_class "*<GtkMenuBar>*" 				style "menu"

    install globalmenu in ubuntu is easy as a pie :

    Code:
    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:globalmenu-team/ppa
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install gnome-globalmenu
    more docs and infos at globalmenu official page

    edit: kde have a globalmenu feature included yes (don't know where though since I've never used kde4, maybe a plasmoid to add)

    Right click on the panel and click on add to panel, scroll down 'till you see the Global Menu Panel Applet, and simply drag it to where you want it on your panel, you can then right click on it and configure it more ( as I have a handle on the applet as well as displaying no icon or window name. ) If the prefrences menu doesn't come up right away when you add the applet you'll need to logout and log in to get it to work.

    Ok so I see the Panel options now but under preferences, there's nothing, and there's no Menu bar on my desktop like a Mac

    The following did the trick:
    Code:
     style "menu_item"
     {
       fg[NORMAL] = "#000000"
     } 
    widget_class "*<GtkMenuItem>*"                style "menu_item" 
    style "menubar"
     {
       fg[NORMAL] = "#FFFFFF"
     }
    widget_class "*<GtkMenuBar>*"                 style "menubar"

    As theparticle010 said, you need to log out your gnome session and then log in again to activate it.

    Thanks for sharing this. It's awesome. I'm using Global Menu for quite some time and I love it. I have saved 4% of my vertical space for the application content.

    To enhance the Global Menu further, I really love to see (is it possible?) window control + Global Menu on the Gnome Panel whenever a window is maximized so that we can optimize 4% more of the vertical space. I have made up a mockup to describe and share the idea with all ubuntu fan. It is a maximized GIMP window. Note that the window controls are on the Gnome Panel.

    Just my 2cents.Tq.
