[Bug 1284221] Re: Shouldn't it be "menu bar" rather than "top bar"?

 

Specification updated.
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Appearance?action=diff&rev2=17&rev1=16>

** Changed in: unity-control-center (Ubuntu)
       Status: In Progress => Triaged

** Changed in: unity-control-center (Ubuntu)
     Assignee: Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt) => (unassigned)

** Description changed:

  The new "Application Menu" UI in "System Settings -> Appearance ->
  Behavior" refers to the "top bar". I thought it was decided that the
  name of the thing is "menu bar". The desktop guide currently uses "menu
  bar" all over.
  
  https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/unity-menubar-intro.html
  
  I suppose it ought to be changed to "menu bar" in u-c-c for consistency
  reasons (even if I personally think that "top bar" would have been more
  clear).
  
  Adding the ubuntu-docs (Ubuntu) task as a reminder of the need to
  include something in the docs about the new feature.

+ <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Appearance#PC>: "The 'Appearance' panel's
+ 'Behavior' [sic] tab should include 'Show the menus for a window:' radio
+ buttons, 'In the menu bar' and 'In the window’s title bar'."
