Love it, I wonder how well this would work with the OSX MATE Theme. Along with Docky it might be possible to get a very similar look of OS X on my PPC computers :smiley:

Something like this but i did not get the Slingscold launcher and indicator synapse to work .
See this guide http://www.noobslab.com/2014/11/mbuntu-macbuntu-1410-transformation.html
to install the things and themes maybe it will work for you .
If Slingscold launcher and indicator synapse work for you pls reply

Love it! Now to change the highlighting to blue and you’re on the money

Could you make it work with LibreOffice?
thanks

Well if someone makes a plugin for it should be possible . Maybe the problem is the method XEMbeded used for exporting the menubars . See https://git.javispedro.com/cgit/topmenu-gtk.git/about/ for information on the Design and Protocol used for making the applet .

Well, In the past 2012, people talk about lo-menubar:

And I today I use cinnamon just because there is a applet that integrates LibreOffice in the menu:


But Cinnamon is a heavy, I prefer use MATE. However I have small screens so I use global menu with maximus.

I ignore how to design, but I think that it could be possible…

thanks again!
