> Subject: [Unity-design] global menù possible modification
> 
> Talking to people, or reading on the web, I see people who likes and
> dislikes global menù. The firsts don't give principally a reason, that
> I summarize in this thought:
> 
> each time I have to use a menù, and I do it with the mouse, I have to
> move to the top bar and select there the voice, covering "long
> distances" with mouse and wasting time and so on...
> 
> This is said principally by professionists, programmers, physicists
> and so on. In fact Gnu/Linux is very used in the scientific world.
> 
> On the other side, global menù is very usefull since it merges two
> bars (one for hardware/configuration and the other for the program you
> are using) in one only, saving time, improving beauty of de.
> 
> It could make sense, in my opinion, to use a hybrid behaviour, in this
> sense: ordinary (old) menù when a window is not maximized, so that you
> can move mouse in short distances; global menù with maximized window,
> saving space and so on...
