Changing Brisk menu to Full Screen on Contemporary Layout

Support & Help Requests

I prefer the Brisk Full Screen view, and would like to enable it for the Contemporary Layout.

Does anyone know how I can do that?

Thanks,

Tom

Not currently using Ubuntu MATE, but you’ll be pointed in the right direction soon by another user!

I recall changing Brisk Menu to the “dash” style and back using dconf-editor. If you have it installed you can open it up and make a search for Brisk and find the appropriate setting to change.

Hi Tom,

more precisely, you want ‘com/solus-project/brisk-menu/window-type’ key in dconf-editor. Change it from ‘classic’ to ‘dash’. However, the change does not apply immediately (tested in virtualbox). You may need to reload brisk menu. Use ‘killall brisk-menu’ command in terminal or simply log out from your user session and log in back.

Regards.

Something to keep in mind when modifying the brisk menu style is that it has a tendency to revert back to the template default if you use Mate Tweak to switch between saved custom layouts.

Using the OP’s case, if he created a custom layout based on contemporary and manually changed the dconf settings of brisk from classic to dash the setting should be preserved so long as he does not select a different layout. If he were to change layouts to something else and back to his custom layout, then the brisk menu setting would change back to classic.
