Although for many the global menu de Ubuntu It is extremely usable, others consider that it is only useful when the application windows are maximized, otherwise all it does is that the user has to move the mouse cursor through an exaggerated distance.
Such users will be happy to know that in Ubuntu 14.04 la menu bar may be shown in the title bar of the Windows.
The implementation, which you can see in the image that heads this post, looks pretty good.
The most interesting thing is that the menu bar is not always in view, but appears until the user places the mouse cursor on the title bar. This behavior can be seen in the video that appears at the end of this post.
Apparently this behavior will not be activated by default in Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr, although it may be easily activated in section Appearance → Behavior of the system configuration. So those who wish to have the menu bar always close at hand will be able to achieve their goal with a few clicks.
The video below:
It was time! I do not understand how they have taken so long to implement it ...
Where it says: «The most interesting thing is that the menu bar is not always in view, but appears until the user poses ...»
and it would say "The most interesting thing is that the menu bar is not always in view, but appears when the user poses ..."
I rectify my rectification: «The most interesting thing is that the menu bar is not always in view, but appears when the user poses ...»
I prefer: «The most interesting thing is that what is in view of the menu does not matter, but when the user is interested in the pose of the interested party that the user menu always in view ...»
Joer .. I hope there is an "easy" option to make the menu bar "ALWAYS VISIBLE" because it is a nuisance that it appears only when the cursor is placed on the bar !.
Do they think that with that they are going to return to the right path?
The look is more and more tacky, and more and more things are incorporated to impact with greatness that all they do is annoy the user who wants to work without the desktop programmer calling him and saying «look, here I am, look what I have done the most striking work so that you can see me well and everyone in the store will see me »
It looks like an operating system for children with those icons and that waste of space (that the monitors have to be bigger and bigger). And KDE, the other way around: everything microscopic.
Let's see when they stop giving so much importance to the surface and start, really (they always say they will but they don't) to repair all those little things that are wrong, already rusted and that continue to waste hours and hours to people testing and finding out and asking how to put the calendar on Monday, for example, and now the other calendar, the one from bash, they've already screwed it up too. Now it can no longer be set to Monday = 1st day of the week.
They go like crabs backwards, sideways, .. and now back with the menus in the windows,… that's why I stopped using Ubuntu. They have a lot of crap on their heads. Until they stop playing and dedicate themselves to the most important first and the least later, I will not return.
Hello!
upgrade from 13.10 to 14.04 and I keep seeing the global menu!
I put the menu on the window, but in the end I had to remove it because I got used to always having it on top. How strange, right?
Neither above nor below nor to the side. I have not yet managed to see a single menu. Maybe it's my computer's problem but I can't edit anything in the browsers or folders, if I can't fix it in a week, I'll leave Ubuntu forever. For me it has gotten worse since 11. 12 seemed horrible to me and 14 seems more of the same. A shame
I update to my ubuntu and now the bar that I had does not appear? I do not know how to enter the folders and documents I did not like this update very much ...
I prefer the Menu Bar always visible.
