[Ayatana] appmenu-gtk api for disabling aplication menus
Hello I would like to ask if there is a possibility - for example with appmenu-gtk API - to let the application menus disappear without the need of starting indicator applet. I am developping a Linux based kiosk for older people and the possibility to hide the menus in the GTK applications would be very handy. Till now I had to add gnome/xfce panel with indicator applet to cause the menu hiding efect. Is there any other possibility for example to send messages over Dbus with python or so ?

Re: [Ayatana] Remember App State
I like it with the caveat that it must be sensitive to screen resolution (or else have some way to "reset". I've gotten into a world of hurt on Windows when an application restored from a position on a large screen after rebooting on a smaller screen (or via remote desktop). I guess the simple solution is "if it isn't visible on the current screen just reset size and position to the default". Shouldn't really be a problem for things in full screen mode, but a major issue for "restored" state if screen size changes. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Now in the near future i see a shift away from [ close ] [ minimize ] [ maximize ] coming to us. Unity doesn't support minimizing. Either the window is closed / hidden or it is maximized|unmaximized. So the new Window Control buttons would be [ hide ] [ Min | Max ] [ tile | float ] What do you think? Wouldn't that solve the problem? ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

You've probably got two choices that are reasonable: You could make a "mock registrar" in DBus that would tell all the applications that there menus are being registered, but then ignoring them. All of them just register to a well-known name in DBus. appmenu-gtk would then think the menus are being used and hide them in the application. Or you could make your own menu module. The way that the appmenus work is that GTK loads a module (appmenu-gtk) which controls the exporting of them over DBus. You could make your own module that just always hid the menus. --Ted signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
