Any possibility of making title width dynamic according to the application name and position it left to the menu (left side the screen)
Any possibility of making title width dynamic according to the application name and position it left to the menu (left side the screen)
Well the only way I've been able to stop the looping is to install the Ubuntu update so if I want to try to get it working I've got to reapply the .deb.
However, I have removed the 'menubar' from the panel and I can apply the .deb and restart gnome-panel but all I'm getting is the standard gnome-panel, not the Mac-style Menu Bar. I'm launching gnome-panel from the command line.
Here's the error I'm getting when I try to launch from the command line:
"robor007@Home-T42-Ubuntu:~/Themes/MacOSXGtkMenuBar$ sudo gnome-panel restart

I got a same problem? Need help please... Thanks
Why do you start gnome-panel as sudo? and I don't think there's any restart option for the gnome-panel command, that is done by the gnome-session.
The global menubar is standalone and doesn't start inside gnome-panel although that would be nice if it did. So there's no use of restarting gnome-panel or anything if it doesn't contain the applet menubar anymore, confusing with all the names huh?
if you installed all the debs needed, just open any gtk application ex gedit and you will see the menubar at the top as if it was a panel. You need to log out before the newly installed gtk libs kicks in.
If I have ever made any valuable discoveries, it has been owing more to patient attention, than to any other talent.

Okay, now I'm *really* confused. What is the 'global menubar' that I'm supposed to disable/remove? What I'm doing is going to my gnome-panel, right clicking on the 'menu bar' piece, and selecting remove from panel. I looked in my 'sessions' while in Gnome and I don't have any menu-bar or menubar listed there. There's nothing about it in my startup programs either. Maybe I'm not using it and this is a snipe hunt?
I only installed the .deb file done by flargen and it doesn't produce any errors. Is there something more I'm supposed to be doing? After I do that I was doing a killall on gnome-panel then restarting it. After that, if I open gedit I do get a bar at the top of the screen but I don't have the Mac-style launcher that I'm trying to get.
The global menubar is the Mac-style menu bar and it's NOT a launcher if you by that meant "some panel with application launchers", if thats what you want you are in the wrong thread.
This Mac-style menu bar aka global menubar widget is simply a method to have all the windows menubar (ex File Edit etc.) as a top panel instead of having it inside every window.
The bug about the gnome applet menubar is that there's an applet that is default for ubuntu setups with the menubar (yes also called menubar) that contains the applications, places and system with its submenus and that applet doesn't work very well if using this mac-style menu bar.
This global menubar (mac-style menubar) is not a replacement for that applet.
I hope you understand better now and I am sorry if I was unclear.

I think effort of this project is to make an "Mac-style Menu Bar", which should support global menubar as well as applets on it (Like the one OSX already have; perhaps KDE as well). Hope this will be implemented in long term.
Ahhhh... When I saw the OP's message titled 'Mac-style Menu Bar' and his screenshot with that launcher bar that looks like the one on OS X I thought that's what he was talking about. I actually have the 'global menubar' working when I use the .deb file. To be honest, I really don't like the way it works though. I prefer the menus to be in the individual applications rather than a single pane. Plus it adds another panel taking away desktop space (I like as much as I can get).
I'm sorry for the confusion. Thank you everyone for helping the noob here. If nothing else, I leared better how to troubleshoot X errors.
