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

I am compiling deb packages for Feisty as I speak. I will post them when they are ready/uploaded.

P.S. These ones won't allow the unpatched version to overwrite them!

Lovely, thanx! I´ll try it again when you have got deb´s readty to go. I didn´t really get my mac menu to work smoothly.

Mac menu deb packages for Feisty:

Installation

GTK:

Extract the archive HERE and install the debs you need. You could just delete the ones you don't need, e.g. the -dbg or -doc ones (probably), and run:

sudo dpkg -i libgtk2*

where you extracted the tarball.

Panel Applet:

Extract the attached tarball and move the files like this:

sudo mv macmenu-applet /usr/lib/gnome-applets/
sudo mv GNOME_MacMenuApplet.server /usr/lib/bonobo/servers/

Add the applet to your panel, logout and login!

i think the correct command is, sudo dpkg -i libgtk2* , right? no space before the i parameter

These deb´s work like a charm on Fiesty! 1000 thank you to flargen!

Hey guys i have been scanning this thread and read through trying to figure out which package I should select for edgy or build it from source. Im not sure if it was me but i found everything quite confusing with all the choices you have...could someone just simply write up some quick updated instructions for this? thanks alot

Lol , here we go again . Go here and download all the debs to a folder , then go to this folder in the terminal and type sudo dpkg -i --force-all *.deb . Reboot just in case and add the mac menu applet to your top panel. That should do it .

I did all that, installed the debs, then restarted, then apt updated a bunch of stuff...I dont know what you mean by add the mac menu applet to my top panel?


correction lol...nevermind i got it thanks

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...
