good question when you have more than 2 windows, is very confusing. because I don't use small screens (21 and 24), I almost never use full-screen maximised windows. I have enough space and I'm happy with that. I've tried global menu for a while but it come to be a nonsense on a large screen. With Gnome Panel or in KDE you always know where you are. They question which arise is why you have to cross all screen with the mouse when the menubar of a non-maximised application (Bluefish for example) can be very close to your mouse ?. Global menu - on my personal opinion is just a good solution for small screens.
Menu button inside window decorations provide a good alternative for saving vertical space on 16:9 and 16:10 screens - even small screens and probably more and more applications will use this solution in future. Most used items can stay visible on front, not-so-widely-used items can be hidden under menu button. 2011/3/29 Saleel Velankar <[email protected]>: > In a nonmaximized window on > a. a large screen > b. with other nonmaximized windows present > > The global-menubar fails for these reasons. > 1.
