gmHere’s a new howto explaining the steps to compile, install and enable the gnome-globalmenu-0.7 series from trunk on your desktop.

This has been tested on Ubuntu intrepid ibex but it should work on hardy too. It should also work with other distributions, except for the first step (dependencies install).
Globalmenu works with “real” gtk applications. That means globalmenu will not work with firefox and openoffice.

Big thanks to rainwoodman and lviggiani for their awesome work on this very useful application. Continue Reading

The corresponding metacity theme is included, there is also an emerald theme Elegant Dark Flat (link bellow). They give the flat looking, mac menu bar and panel have the original elgant dark menu colors.

17032008.pngThis is not the the first time that I modify a gtk theme to fit my needs but this is maybe the first time I’m really happy with it :)
So I decided to release it. Maybe I won’t be alone to like it !

Elegant Cold Blue is a mod of Elegant Brit by fmrbpensador (AKA What is in a name? on ubuntuforums.org) who I thank a lot for all his awesome work.
This mod had a bit darker background color and all orange turned to a cold blue. It is also macmenu (and globalmenu) ready.
I also made an emerald theme (window decorations) that complete the theme.

Install by extracting to your ~/.themes directory or drag and drop the tarball to the theme manager.
Note : you may want to set Panel/menubar-black.png as panel background using panel properties dialog.
