Re: [Ayatana] Re-design applications to fit with the global menu

On the Gnome whiteboard page it lists as a disadvantage of menu buttons "Could be difficult to find a consistent location for these in windows".

I disagree. To me the logical placement of an app menu button is between the window control buttons (maximize, et al) and the window title, in the window title bar (whether that title bar is rendered in the traditional manner, or merged to a horizontal panel in Unity).

I think that the blobal menu isn't really a problem for most of us for a simply reason: most of the apps doesn't really use the menu as an important part of the design but they preferr toolbars, button...

Only a few, but important, apps still use the global menu first LibreOffice but for it the app menu isn't activate.

Now we should find something to replace or redesign menus, there are some mockups here https://live.gnome.org/Design/Whiteboards/Menus, but also developers should adapt their apps to the new design.

Ideas?
