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

[rainwoodman]

Hi,

I am sure of this and I checked with some other applets: If I move them in the direction of global menu it gets smaller. But if I move them away, global menu gets larger until the 100px limit and then stops.

If I look at the preferences there is a setting Maximum width which I can set to 100.

The maximum is for the title label. Why not posting a screenshot or file an issue so that we can investigate the problem into details?

On Google Code: http://code.google.com/p/gnome2-glob...allingonUbuntu

This is mentioned numerous times over the past 15+ pages.

Maybe a mod should update the original post to include that?

Would be nice.

I have already asked for that sometime ago and it has been done with a link to the wiki.
This is enough as we can ask for a modification each time there is a new download.

The global menu team have requested a subforum. Hope we'll have it to have a clearer presentation here on ubuntuforums.

from the supposedly r899 64bit build, all packages are named 'i386' and inside:

$ file libgnomenu.so.0.0.0 
libgnomenu.so.0.0.0: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, stripped

so that's no 64bit.

Don't hold your breath just yet. The mere fact of having gotten as far as actually getting a functional mac menubar in gnome is too much asking knowing how much resistance the gtk/gnome devs opposed against this. Asking to get this into gnome directly is just wasting time. They DON'T want this done, period.

As frustrating and irritating as it is to use GIMP with its in-window menus, I find it hard to believe that they could be so opposed to this! I mean, it's not just about not imitating the Mac (esp. because they do so in other ways), but about practicality. There are so many benefits over a unified menubar, that it's hard to imagine that the devs would be ideologically opposed to it!

It seems that after he installation of the globalmenu, hardinfo doews not want to load this is what I get in the terminal:

hardinfo
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "libgnomenu": (null)

(hardinfo:5935): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot register existing type `GnomenuQuirkMask'

do you have GTK_MODULE_SOMETHING set to libgnomenu? if so, try to unset it. it is useless since a given rev I can't recall.
