The Windows theme will use in-window menus, drawn with the win32 APIs. I don't know of anyone using GNUstep for GUI applications on OS X, but if you request the Mac interface theme then you get Mac-style menus for other GNUstep applications. This is what I tend to use. You can also select in-window menus if you prefer them. > For me the floating menu is quite awkward and doesn't go well together with > any modern OS of today.

Yes, the NeXT style menu performs very poorly in Fitts' Law analyses as well. > Having GNUstep applications use the OS's menu would be a great improvement in > my opinion.
