Re: top bar, menu bar, panel or top panel

 

Hi everyone,

AFAIK Quantal will add an option to use old fashion menus AKA "locally integrated menus" instead of the global menu (well, it was originally planned for Precise...).

Top Bar will also work in this case.
It is more generic and it also gives a 'location hint' to the user (how will a new user know that the 'menu bar' is the thing on the top and not the thing on the left?). IMHO, 'Top Bar' is less ambiguous.

And using 'Top Bar' will also reduce the diff between Ubuntu and Gnome manuals (= less work for translators).


So yes, I'm pro 'Top Bar' :p
