Just Give Me the Beans!
yes!! i got it to work. the .deb's helped so much!! all i did was install them and install the applet and it worked.
my only issues are with Firefox (whick i am gonn slowly not use anymore) and nautilus doesnt work. it keeps the menu bar. the macmenu does show filrebrowser, but it doesnt show the File, Edit, etc stuff. any tips?

As someone already said, Firefox is not supported because it does not use gtk+. Now, as for your problem. First, since you're using a background image for your panel that has rounded corners, you're going to have to cut out a small rectangular section of that to use as the menu's background (make it like... a 5 pixel wide chunk of it). Save it as panel.png in the same folder as your theme's gtkrc file. Then, go into gtkrc and add these lines:Originally Posted by echelon89
Also, keep in mind that the menu won't show up correctly in any applications that are accessed with either sudo or gksudo, such as synaptic or any instance of sudo gedit or whatever you're using. To fix this, you'll have to copy your .themes folder to /root.Code:#################### MENUBAR ################### style "menubar" { fg[NORMAL] = "#000000" text[NORMAL] = "#000000" fg[PRELIGHT] = "#404040" fg[ACTIVE] = "#404040" fg[INSENSITIVE] = "#DDE4FF" text[PRELIGHT] = "#DDE4FF" xthickness = 0 ythickness = 0 engine "pixmap" { image { function = BOX state = NORMAL file = "panel.png" border = { 0, 0, 0, 0 } stretch = FALSE } image { function = BOX state = ACTIVE file = "panel.png" border = { 0, 0, 0, 0 } stretch = FALSE } image { function = BOX state = INSENSITIVE file = "panel.png border = { 0, 0, 0, 0 } stretch = FALSE } image { function = BOX state = PRELIGHT file = "panel.png" border = { 2, 2, 2, 2 } stretch = FALSE } }
You know, I saw a post of yours about this topic on some website (either compiz or awn, I can't remember), and I meant to bring this up. I, too, have been putting a lot of thought into making a menu for that little label, and I would love to work with you on this project. The main problem I'm facing is thinking of items to actually put into the menu--especially ones that I can actually program, which would exclude things like Hide Others and the Services submenu.Although i haven't coded anything for 2 years and i have no experience with gtk i will probably try to alter the macmenu applet a little. i might try to combine it with some code from the menu bar applet to give it a default menu. If i get to it and if i succeed , i will post it here but i warn you , don't hold your breath.

I tried SkiesOfAzel's .debs, and now I have no pane at all. I just have a bar in the top left corner with the menu for GAIM. I also get a bunch of "I've detected a panel already open. Quitting" when I log in. I also have loads of dependencies missing:

Thanks for the answer,I've tried it, but it doesn't work...

did you restart your gnome-panel after modifications ? if not, try this in a terminal:Thanks for the answer,I've tried it, but it doesn't work...

I have the following problem(please, read about the macmenu): click here
I know this was already discussed here, but I didn't understand a word of what to do O.o
edit: I just realized another well discussed issue: the background corner becomes square again when the deskbar(spotlight) magically slides to the right(because of a new tray icon appearing like GAIM for example). Is there a way of LOCKING or set its background transparent?
here it is when the tray has just one icon(and the notification area doesn't push deskbar to the corner):
...and here it is after "sliding" to the right:

thanks

Gee! These Aren't Roasted!
You are not on Feisty, are you? To reinstall your original packages, find the packages you installed on synaptic, go to the packages menu and select force version. On the popup window select the original package and press force version.

I tried the force version thing, but it starts trying to remove most of my packages.
Gee! These Aren't Roasted!
Which Ubuntu version are you using? If there where dependencies problems how did you install the debs? Did you force them?Anyway, to restore your old packages you can build them yourself if forcing version doesn't work.
Now there should be a folder starting with gtk , cd to this folder andCode:mkdir packages cd packages mkdir gtk2 cd gtk2 apt-get sources libgtk2.0-0 sudo apt-get build-dep libgtk2.0-0 sudo apt-get install fakeroot
When it finishes justCode:dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
To restore the panel:Code:cd .. sudo dpkg -i --force-all *.deb
cd to the newly created folder starting with gnome-panel- andCode:cd .. mkdir gnome-panel apt-get sources gnome-panel sudo apt-get build-dep gnome-panel
When it finishes justCode:dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
Code:cd .. sudo dpkg -i --force-all *.deb

Im using Edgy. I didn't force them, they installed fine to start with, but I got a bunch of errors during the install, something to do with it not configuring the panel because of the dependencies.
When I try to get the build-deps for libgtk I get the following error
I might just reinstall Feisty and hopefully any problems i've had with it previously are sorted.Code:E: Build-dependencies for libgtk2.0-0 could not be satisfied.
