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

That's the right plugin. You have to add a item to "Window specific settings".

Ah, ok.

No, I'm still lost. Could you post a screenshot for me? I see where to add a window setting but I have no clue how to set it up.

/me can be such a dunce at times

Here you go. (the screen is partially in my language)

Now I have it. Thanks for the screenie. Where do you set the blur?

Add "Tooltip | Menu | PopupMenu | DropdownMenu" to "Alpha blur windows" in the "Blur windows" plugin, and enable the "Alpha blur" checkbox.

[DJ_Peng]

Sweet. Thanks for the info. It turns out I didn't like the blur and the opacity settings looked a little weird to me but thanks for helping me (and others) see where to play with these settings.

Hey,

How do I change the name displayed in the menubar? (eg "Firefox" instead of "Firefox Web Browser")

Right-click your menu > Edit menu (or run alacarte in the terminal). Everything you change there will change the name in the global menu, once you restart the panel (log-off or killall gnome-panel).

Forgive me if this has been answered before (I searched and couldn't find it), but is there a way to have the GM not work with a specific app? I'm finding that Evolution's status bar doesn't change if I have the menu enabled (Even now I'm still seeing "Change Evolution's settings" on my status bar, although I finished with that 5-10 minutes ago) and I really want to get at least Evo to use the status bar properly.

Is this something I should post a bug for? It looks similar to bug 412 (which is labeled fixed but it isn't resolved on my system) but is almost an opposite behaviour.

try to add this to your .gnomerc file

export GTK_MENUBAR_NO_MAC="evolution"

Weird, I never had this issue with evo status bar. Are you using the deb from ppa or did you compile it yourself from svn ?
