Global Menu

This will be the working page for tracking progress on the Global Menu for the Ubuntu Netbook Edition.

Goals

We need to test the global menu on as many applications as possible. We will have a PPA for Lucid so that upstream developers and enthusiasts can test the Global Menu without committing to testing on Maverick.

  • XUL applications (such as Firefox and Thunderbird) and OpenOffice are NOT targets for Maverick, as they will require more work.

  • We need testing on GTK and Qt applications.
  • Work on supporting other the global menu on other toolkits would be welcome, but not a priority for the DX team, help wanted.

Schedule

  • Alpha 1 - Enable the global menu in Maverick and Lucid PPA.
  • Alpha 2 - Turn off double menu feature
  • Alpha 3 - Testing
  • Beta/RC - Done

How to Test

Note: When testing we purposely enable the Global Menu AND keep the old menu in place. That was it is obvious to you if anything is broken. During testing you will have double menus!

  1. Install the Global Menu from this PPA.
  2. Instructions to use go here.
  3. What things to test goes here.
  4. How to file bugs and tag goes here.
  5. How upstreams can get help fixing their applications go here.

Applications to Test

  • TBD, either one big grid or a bunch of tagged bugs.
