Global Menu
This will be the working page for tracking progress on the Global Menu for the Ubuntu Netbook Edition.
Announcement and design goals
Goals
We need to test the global menu on as many applications as possible. We will put the global menu in the Unity (Lucid) PPA 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
![Warning /!\](/moin_static198/light/img/icon_eek.png "Warning /!\"){kind=icon}
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!
Install Unity from the Unity PPA. The global menu will be part of Unity so you only need to install the "unity" package and the "indicator-applet-appmenu" package.
- Log into the Unity session, right click on the panel, and add the "Indicator Applet Appmenu" applet.
- Instructions to use go here. [dbarth]
- What things to test goes here. [dbarth]
- Filing bugs:
- For applications that have a bug with the global menu, file a bug on launchpad and tag it with "global-menu".
- File a wishlist bug in the upstream bug tracker and ask them if they would consider supporting the global menu. Provide links to this page and to the documentation so that it's easy for application authors to find what they need.
Make sure you link the launchpad bug to the upstream bug (Instructions) so that we can follow the bug and see if any developers need help adapting their application.

Getting Help
- Upstream Application Developers - If you use GTK or Qt menus without any custom widgets it should Just Work.
- Ted Gould (tedg) and Cody Russell (bratsche) are available on #ayatana on Freenode IRC if you have a special case and need help.
The Ayatana Mailing List is the right mailing list to post technical questions and queries.

Applications that we Should Test
These applications are not shipped in UNE, but would be good to test anyway due to popularity or because you're passionate about them. Feel free to add what you want to work on!
