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've the same problem... Do not works!

I'm on Gutsy 64bit...

sure it won't work. - applet binary is 32bit

you need to recompile applet, change directory to applet source in terminal and run

Code:

gcc $(pkg-config --cflags --libs libpanelapplet-2.0 libwnck-1.0) -DFOR_GNOME -o gnome-macmenu-applet macmenu-applet.c

then do sudo cp ... staff

Yes, sure.

Attached macmenu applet with debian/ and a patch for gtk, adopted for building libgtk2.0-0 package. Just put it to debian/patches and add the name of a patch to debian/patches/series list.

Hi, I've got this working, but is there any way of making it play nicely with different themes? It's either grey or white depending on what app is in focus. I'd like it to be transparent, or at the very least, stay white. Also, Opera is a bit dodgy with it, displaying the massive window titles instead. Any solutions?
