Re: [Evolution] CVS Evolution: Mac-like interface



Ahah!  Yes that is exactly it.

You mac loving GUI designers please take note ... without the global
context-sensitive menu bar (which personally I think is a great idea,
AmigaOS had one too) you need to chuck on menu bars (and these days tool
bars) and other crap which clutter the ui, but is still necessary,
otherwise you end up with a non-functional app that is hard to use (even
if its 'simple').

What is missing in Evolution attempts to mimic the Mac interface is 
that there is no global application-specific menu bar that all the 
application windows can share. If that were there, this approach 
would work. However, the Linux GUIs currently do not support that.

cute and apparently user-friendly it might be. ,-)
