All I'm suggesting is to move a small number of application specific items (as opposed to window specific menu items) to the app menu. > and the reviews of Epiphany hiding a number of menu items > under some other button elsewhere were not so wonderful. Epiphany is in a transitional state. The plan is to dispense with the menu that is in the toolbar - see https://live.gnome.org/Design/Apps/Web#Tentative_Design > So - unless we can put all of our menus in the shell bar, it's unclear what > benefit this brings really; There are two main benefits that I can see: * Consistency with other apps in a GNOME 3 environment - we are aiming to ensure that all our apps present their app menu options here in the same way. * A more logical menu structure - splitting out options that affect all windows into their own place. > doing that is a reasonably achievable goal I think, > we have an abstraction for it - but the shell doesn't want that. Yeah, I don't think that modifying the top bar is a good idea. The purpose of the top bar is to: * Be the presence of the system (as opposed to applications) eg, by providing access to the overview and indicating system status. It delineates the system from applications. * Provide a visual anchor that is always present - it's a consistently available way into the system and remains in position despite other changes in state and view (inside/outside the overview, screen rotation, etc) More information can be found on the GNOME Shell design wiki page: https://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/Design/#Top_bar > Anyhow - I'm most interested in people improving this area; cleaning up menus, > and/or presenting / simplifying their functionality / putting it somewhere > else > is fine by me; but we'd need some reasonably coherent approach to that. > > Thoughts on what works best here much appreciated etc. To be clear - I'm not trying to solve the design of LibreOffice's menus. My chief motivation is better GNOME 3 integration. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
