Create a Mac menu bar in Linux

In Linux, create a Mac-style menu bar-general Linux technology-Linux technology and application information. The following is a detailed description. Although many friends like Mac systems very much, they do not have access to Mac systems. It doesn't matter. in Linux, We can customize a style similar to the Mac system based on our preferences. The following is an example.

To create a Mac menu bar in the Ubuntu + Gnome environment, follow these steps:

Download the required package here, after my test, just libgtk2.0-runtime + macmenubar1.0.11 _ i386.deb, libgtk2.0-bin_2.10.6-0ubuntu1 + macmenubar1.0.11 _ i386.deb, libgtk2.0-common_2.10.6-0ubuntu1 + macmenubar1.0.11 _ all. deb, libgtk2.0-0-dbg_2.10.6-0ubuntu1 + macmenubar1.0.11 _ i386.deb, gnome-macmenu-applet_1.0.11-1_i386.deb these 5 packages. Run sudo dpkg-I *. deb for easy installation.

Before using a Mac menu, you need to clear the panel above Gnome to make room for the display menu. I only keep one main menu. You can handle it as needed. Right-click Gnome and select "Add to panel" in the pop-up Menu. Then, select "Mac Menu" in the window that appears ", click Add to Add the Mac menu bar application component to the Gnome panel.

Well, if you open the program before, close them now and re-open it. Note that you can view the top panel of Gnome to display the menu bar of the application.

Some programs support Mac menus well, such as Azuerus, Evince, Gaim, gFTP, Nautilus, and Terminal, but some programs do not, for example, Firefox. Even more seriously, some programs may crash, such as Acrobat Reader 7. In addition, the Alt + [A-Z] hotkeys in the menu bar do not work. In short, it seems that this Mac-style menu bar has some disadvantages.

For friends who use the Xfce environment, there is also a panel small application that supports displaying the Mac style menu bar.

I still like to use linux-specific interfaces.
