Menu with Unity Desktop [message #639713]

Hi,

when using Ubuntu Netbook edition with new Unity desktop interface, there are problems with the application menus.

Unity desktop features menu similar to Mac OS X, which is always present on top of the desktop. When I run my application (using pure SWT, no JFace) on Unity desktop, menu is not present inside application window and neither in the OS menu bar.

This problem will get even worse once Canonical includes this desktop-wide menu in standard desktop edition of Ubuntu (scheduled for the 11.04 release).

I would like to know if there are any plans for SWT to support new menu with Unity.

Thank you for your answers, best regards,

Albert

Hi,

I did a quick search in bugzilla and didn't find a bug request for this. Can you please open a bug under SWT so that it can be investigated? https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=Platform &component=SWT

Thanks,
