This project is a fork of gnomehud with the adition of a global menu bar. To install it you have to download this repo and install the extension copying/moving the fildemGMenu@gonza.com folder into ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions. Then, you have to run the app with ./run.sh.
You can also bring a HUD menu with Alt + Space.
This is a prototype, as I don’t know if people will like or how much it will last until devs nuke it, so fell free to let me know your opinion.
The dependencies are the same as gnome-hud. You can install it with:
sudo apt install libbamf3-dev bamfdaemon libkeybinder-3.0-dev
pip3 install fuzzysearch
You can install the modules with
sudo apt install unity-gtk2-module unity-gtk3-module appmenu-gtk3-module
And the configure the following files:
- Create the file
~/.gtkrc-2.0and appendgtk-modules="appmenu-gtk-module" - The file
~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.inishould have the linegtk-modules="appmenu-gtk-module"under [Settings]. If it doesn’t exist create it and paste the following
[Settings]
gtk-modules="appmenu-gtk-module"
If you don’t want to have to hover the menu to view it, change FORCE_SHOW_MENU in extension.js to true, and reload the shell (Alt+F2, r).
In some gnome themes, the buttons have a small spacing beetween them. This can make the buttons easy to miss and unfocusing our window if it’s not maximized. To fix this, add this somewhere on your gnome-shell.css theme:
#panel #panelLeft {
spacing: 0px; }
#panel #panelLeft .panel-button {
spacing: 0px; }
