Titlebar for halftiled windows #7
Comments
@mrprobot thank you for your input. Tiled windows Global menu Right now the only way to get the full menu structure of an application, with wayland support, is plotinus (https://github.com/p-e-w/plotinus) wich has a dbus api that can be used to create a global menu, but it works only with gtk3 apps. |
Thank you for your reply, looking forward to the next versions. |
Nice, thank you. Working fine! |
@mrprobot for my side, waverer I can contribute if i have the time i will do it. I don't think anyway that the main problem of the global menu could be resolved with more peoples. It can be resolved easy with the support of the Gtk developers. Also I don't think plotinus will work on Wayland. It ask over a dbus exactly the same that I can not get (The dbus window properties). @jonian I have trying to implemented a way to parse and draw the windows buttons from the gtk theme. It needed an xml parser(I make the parse with python), but i was unhappy with the result. If some how we can parse the gtk theme to extract the windows buttons will be a really good thing, as we can follow the theme specification to create the window buttons. |
In my opinion it would be better if halftiled windows have the titlebar and window buttons on it, as it was under Unity and only for maximized windows they get moved to the panel. Something like this:
Are there any plans on implementing a global menu in future versions? The Ubuntu Mate guys seem to patch unity-gtk-module, because they implemented a global menu in Mate.
There is already a Global Menu extension in the works but lestcape has stopped development, because he found no solution of implementing a global menu under Wayland. Maybe you can work together and bring Unity back to it's users.
Thank you for your work!
