Mac OS style menu bar
by furanku on Saturday 09/Feb/2008, @02:37

May I, with all respect for the good work and the priorities of the developers, ask if there are any plans to reintroduce the Mac OS style menu bar? I asked for that a while ago and Lubos Lunak generously offered to work on that somewhen post-4.0.

Are there any news on that?

The option is actually still there in kdeglobals rc file.
You have to add these two lines to have the toplevel menu.

[KDE]
macStyle=true

The feature is currently quite buggy, however: often the menubar is not refreshed, and obviously the panel integration is missing... or should it be plasmoid integration?

I miss it too, by the way. But so does Lubos, I think so there is still hope :)

Why not? I like the idea.

Let's also make a Plasmoid that looks like OS-X Leopard dock, Gnome panel, and OS-X like Menu bar.

Long live customization!!! :-)
