I was lookin' around gnome-look.org and I came across this new concept for the gnome menu bar, check it out here:

http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/new+menu+applet?content=74446

I vote someone gets to work on this right away or let the developers at gnome know about it so they can get to work on it.

I would except I don't yet know How to code. :P

Not a fan... But the great thing about linux.. The amount of customization.

I'm not a fan of it either, it looks too much like KDE.

I like both KDE and Gnome, but I would prefer to keep them seperate entities.

Not my kind of thing either, seems like a step backwards.

Don't like it at glance, either, but I won't know until I use it.

However, I would rather have a separate "Favorite" tab alongside Applications, Places, and System, and the user can choose to include that Favorite tab or not.

I agree simply awful. The reason I like Gnome is that the interface is so simple and consistent. If you like this kind of thing, you'd probably prefer KDE.

Actually I think it looks kind of neat but it needs some brushing up too

Can't understand why the sub menus should have a smaller font. Needs some brushing up yes, and might have to try it to really test it.

They already are. I hope they decide against it.

Usually, I'm not into modifying the menu. However, I must admit, I like the way it looks. Agree it needs some enhancement but appears to be a good start. Let us know when you've completed it and I for one will definitely give it a try. Don't be discouraged by those that don't find it attractive. Everyone has their own perceptions and interruptions.

Like cashmoney says that's one of the things that makes Linux so desirable. Customization.
