User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; es-es) AppleWebKit/312.8 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/312.5 Build Identifier: Firefox 1.5 Hi. I tried gnome, KDE and xfce in linux. My goal is to get a DE that looks and works exactly like OS9 did (mac menubar at the top containing the "File Edit View ..." menus from the active app, corner bar at the bottom left/right, spatial filemanager, etc) running under Linux, I want that b/c I really loved how OS9 looked and felt, but it's old and decrepit and I wanted to take it's GUI (which is the best one around) and put it on Linux (which is the best OS around) to form a product of the best thing of both. My problem so far is that KDE is too big and is aimed to be Windoze like, gnome is simple, but some of it's developpers refuse to add Mac-like features, ironically they add the Windoze ones without hesitation, so those two are not options for me. And I wanted to know. Can you pls add those features into Xfce. Or is it "Technically imposible*"? *Due to impossitions from M$ corp. Reproducible: Always
This is far too big a feature request to handle by anyone. You are asking us to rebuild Xfce to emulate OS9... that's not going to happen. The menubar is basically technically impossible with GTK as it is now. Every once in a while someone tries to implement something, but no-one has succeeded so far. If you can split your requests to be small and specific to one Xfce component, it would be easier to repond to the bug report. This one I'm going to close.

I ask b/c gnome have detachable menus (the app menubar can be detached and moved around), it's not exactly Mac-like, but the mere fact it exists means that gtk DO allow placing the app menubar anywhere outside the app window (which is the base of the global menubar and represents the bulk of the implementation). The problem is that the gnome dev team confesed that they don't want to put it b/c a major company (M$) has threatened with legal action if they implement that feature (BTW. the global menubar is property of Apple. Apple themselves haven't done anything over it which means we pretty much have the go on that, M$ have nothing to do with that feature, but they bully anyway since they know their billions can make things go their way).
