Re: [anjuta-list] Anjuta looks strange

[Fearsome <fearsome green gmail com>]

Sébastien, John,

Thanks for your replies. Appreciate it.

I'm not concerned about the menu bar; in fact I prefer they Unity approach. The hidden menu bar feature is brilliant--desktop space is prime real estate and should be used as efficiently as possible!

No, I was more referring to the lack of decorations, ugly tabs, and the non-consistency of the themes. But Anjuta works well and that is was matters. The developers (one of you?) deserve much praise! Nonetheless, I often go for the better looking app, compare, e.g., GIMP and darktable, and Anjuta and Kdevelop. (Ok, I know the feature sets aren't exactly overlapping, but still...)

If this is how it is, there's not much to do and it's good to know that.

Cheers,

Fred

Yes, this is quite confusing. Particularly, because the menu bar does not
appear unless the cursor is actually above it. So, if you're looking for
the original menu, it's at the top, but you have to move the cursor there.
And this gets more confusing if you have two applications (or more)
running on the desktop. Only the menu of the active (focused) program
can be seen.

If this behaviour annoys you as much as it did me (and I'm not alone),
have a look at these pages:

http://customizeubuntu.com/appearance/environment/disable-unity-menu-bar/

(In fact, the original reason I investigated this problem, is that because
of the Unity-way, you can't have two menus in a program. It only shows the
first one)
