The one thing I think is interesting WRT horizontal menus is Google
Chrome's "Copy/Cut/Paste" combined menu entry. It's really quite neat
when you have a row of options that are are more closely coupled to each
other (function-wise) than they are to the other rows.
I think Google are designing what one day will be a floating context menu hidden behind that "Customize and Control" button.
They could do better by honoring the state of the clipboard better, i.e. greying out what's not available.
Especially with horizontal elements one should make sure that the positions of elements don't change for "muscle memory"-like reasons.
The zoom toggles in Chromium are also not so smart, in that using them to adjust the document zoom is impractical, since they disappear upon click.
