If we enable gtk3 it builds separate gtk2 and gtk3 backends; I suspect the functionality we need for this is gtk3 specific (?). So - this is blocked by completing the gtk3 port - not something that's -that- far out, but it needs a man-month or two of concerted work. -- 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 Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

I wouldn't recommend removing the window decoration without removing the menu bar first (under GNOME 3, at least). -- 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 Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48835 --- Comment #4 from Michael Meeks michael.me...@novell.com 2012-04-23 04:19:35 PDT --- I wouldn't recommend removing the window decoration without removing the menu bar first (under GNOME 3, at least). It is hard to see how we can collapse all our menus down into a single top-level entry, and the reviews of Epiphany hiding a number of menu items under some other button elsewhere were not so wonderful. So - unless we can put all of our menus in the shell bar, it's unclear what benefit this brings really; doing that is a reasonably achievable goal I think, we have an abstraction for it - but the shell doesn't want that. 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. -- 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 Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48835 --- Comment #5 from Allan Day allanp...@gmail.com 2012-04-23 04:42:56 PDT --- (In reply to comment #4) I wouldn't recommend removing the window decoration without removing the menu bar first (under GNOME 3, at least). It is hard to see how we can collapse all our menus down into a single top-level entry, Right, that wouldn't work. 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 Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48835 --- Comment #6 from Michael Meeks michael.me...@novell.com 2012-04-23 07:17:21 PDT --- Sooo ... this is going to be fun :-) We need to somehow unwind the vcl/sfx2/framework mess to add some VCL APIs to nominate windows as top-levels (I guess), and to add some logic to allow the global 'set_app_menu' magic to get done inside the framework/ code (I suppose). I suggest we decouple this from the set_menubar thing - which looks more intense (if that's to set the whole menubar for the unity-style merged-menu use-case) - since that's a tad more work. -- 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 Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
