"Also, this would make moving a window (dragging it from its top bar) harder." We can't have a global menu on non-maximized windows. Let's not have a global menu on maximized windows. Then, the look will be consistent.
You don't need the global menu. Maverick had four vertical bars (top, title, menu, bottom), Natty had two vertical bars with title and launcher always visible (title and menu). You halved the vertical bars! What an achievement! Apple and Microsoft didn't do that! Please, be satisfied! Google recently phased out lots of apps and app features that didn't work. Since you're attached to the global menu, first let people toggle it on and off in 12.04, then phase it out in 12.10. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/682788 Title: Global menu is not ergonomical on large screens To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/682788/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
