Re: What to call the unity panel?

 

"Top bar" is the term we have been using, it used to be "Panel" but this was a hangover from the Gnome2 days.

Hello!

I was about to implement a part of the new System Settings spec [1] when I saw that it referred to the unity panel as "the top bar".

But in a past cycle, I implemented the Time & Date spec [2] which has UI that refers to the unity panel as "the menu bar".

So which one is the official user-facing phrase? I can fix either UI to be consistent, I just need to know which.
