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

[Resurge]

^^^ You prolly only need to use the Mac4Lin MacMenu version instead of the normal Mac4Lin GTK theme

I'm using the theme aswell.

I followed this tutorial: http://maketecheasier.com/turn-your-...rd/2008/07/23/
Unfortunately the .deb files mentioned there were all 32 bit (I'm running hardy AMD64).

This however worked: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php...postcount=1015
Except for the problem BEaSTFX and me are having.

I am having the same problem as Resurge and BEaSTFX. I'm using openSuSE 11.0, downloaded from http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3?stat...plet&srodzaj=3. Relatively New to Linux, and its distros.. what did I do wrong?

The appelet shows up fine, but i only see the name of the focused program in bold, no menu. The windows still have the menus on each one individually.

Hi Felix

Would you grab branches/0.5-yu, compile it on your 64-bit machine, and do the following test:
(suppose you have logged in on tty1 tty2, and your X session is on :0,)

tty1:
export DISPLAY=:0
cd libgnomenu/server
./gnomenu-server

tty2:
cd libgnomenu/server
./gnomenu-call -c Ping -p message -v "ding..ding.."
./gnomenu-call -e Hello &
./gnomenu-call -c Emit -p _event_ -v Hello

and tell me the results?
(something like)

[rainwoodman server]$ ./gnomenu-call -c Ping -p message -v "ding..ding.." 
** Message: <GnomenuGlobalMenu>::cid obtained: 1014
ding..ding..
[rainwoodman server]$ ./gnomenu-call -e Hello &
[1] 21716
** Message: <GnomenuGlobalMenu>::cid obtained: 1015
[rainwoodman server]$ ./gnomenu-call -c Emit -p _event_ -v Hello
** Message: <GnomenuGlobalMenu>::cid obtained: 1016
(null)
[rainwoodman server]$ 
<command name="Hello" cid="1016"><p name="_event_">Hello</p></command>
[1]+  Done                    ./gnomenu-call -e Hello

Thanks

That would take a while, as i'm on holiday for about 13 days, in hungary.

i only have 2 notebooks here, and no reliable internet.

but as soon as i'm home i will try it.

That will be nice of you! Good luck with your trip.

Oh btw I miss-read hungary as hungry and really puzzled for some time until I read this topic again..

I don't have the time to work on the project on weekdays anymore.

I had success with building global menu on hardy 64bit but the applet does not appear in the list. If I add gnomenu to the gomerc file gtk applications just fall back to the old menu. the interesting thing the configure and the make command exits normally after resolving tons of devel package dependency. I'm stuck here I checked out the latest and greatest from the trunk. And I'm willing to test on 64 bit hardy.


btw kinap I'm Hungarian. Welcome to my country I hope u enjoy it.

Dunno for the first question.

To customize globalmenu font you can right click on the applet the pick preferences in the popup menu and select your font there.

Get rid of the underscores implies to patch and rebuild libgtk.

XUL != GTK

Firefox doesn't work by design.

I feel I am doing something exceeds my ability.
