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

[Ethos]

Any ideas? Did I do something wrong? Sorry just trying to get this done tonight

it says firefox right now, and when no boxes are open it says gnome...

There is nothing wrong with that behavior. It doesn't work with firefox and when no window is focused it say gnome.
Try with Nautilus, Rhythmbox the terminal etc, etc...

You have probably updated the macmenu packages with the original ones. Usually after installing the debs for macmenu, the update manager asks you to update some packages, you must take care not to update the macmenu debs. . When you open the update manager , before upgrading check the description of the packages available and if you see the word macmenu there, uncheck them.

This is probably Kxdocker. If you use gnome , you should look for avant window navigator, it's the best dock i've ever tried on linux (and i've tried them all ). There is a thread here somewhere on how to get and compile the svn version (the stable version is old and buggy).

Hi everyone!

Due to various reasons, I have stopped using the mac menubar myself (and maintaining too).

If anyone is willing to continue this project, please contact me by email.

Does anyone know where to find the mac menu icons (to the right), wireless icon, battery meter, volume control etc etc

Example:

and even better example:

I´m no mac fan but I love the simplicity of those icons (looks good on a white/grey menubar!)

Tried google for mac icons but that resulted in miljons of pagehits so I gave that up.

Thanx in advance!

BR,
Chrisse

You can find many such icons inside objectbar themes. Go to DeviantART and browse for them.

I have it added, but its not showing up with the icons, its only saying what box i have focused at the moment, for instance it says firefox right now, and when no boxes are open it says gnome...

Actually Firefox is not a genuine gtk+2 application. Since the menubar is like everything else some kind of website (xul is the keyword here) it can not be detected by the patch.
