Hi,<br>
<br>
As you probably know if you read PlanetKDE, I am working on implementing<br>
a global menubar for KDE, using DBusMenu. Here is a link to the post in<br>
case you missed it:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://agateau.wordpress.com/2010/05/10/getting-menus-out-of-application-windows/" target="_blank">http://agateau.wordpress.com/2010/05/10/getting-menus-out-of-application-windows/</a><br>
<br>
It is composed of a Qt patch and a Plasma menubar widget.<br>
<br>
It is starting to work reasonably, but I have some design questions<br>
though: what should the widget show when no application is active?<br>
Similarly, what should it show when the selected application window has<br>
no menubar?<br>
<br>
Right now it just shows a "Menu" item which contains a disabled "No<br>
items" entry, but this can probably be improved. What do you think would<br>
be the best?<br>
<br>

</blockquote></div><br>Imho the title of the current active application should be shown.<br>When clicking it it should popup a menu with a "Quit" entry and an "About" one.<br>The about one is something easily retrievable through the KAboutData class but i dunno for other kind of apps.<br>
<br>When no application is shown Plasma settings seems reasonable to me (maybe using the cashew icon in place of a string for the menu entry :).<br><br>Just my 2cc.<br>Cheers.<br>-- <br>Alessandro Diaferia<br>KDE Developer<br>
