Mac Menubar applet for Xfce/GNOME panels!

AUR: for Xfce 4.4 | GNOME  2.16
It's in my repository ("xfce4-macmenu-plugin" and gnome-macmenu-applet):
[AqD]
Server = http://people.os-zen.net/aqd/repository
You also need gtk2-aqd >= 2.10.6-2 from my repo and xfce 4.4 from shadowhand's or gnome 2.16
To move or remove the applet, move mouse pointer to the rightmost place of the menubar, where you will see something appearing like a flat button, then: (for Xfce) right-click on it, or (for GNOME) left-click on it, don't release button until you select the menu item.
You can right-click to get the panel menu (for restart/quit) if there is no window focused.
Problems and solutions: · GNOME/GTK2 apps' menubars cannot be restored to the original state once you use this applet. However, they wouldn't die even if the applet/panel crashes - restarting panel will catch them back.
· After you restart the panel, the menubar of currently active window may not be visible, unfocus/focus (or shade/unshade) the main window will make it appear again
· Restarting WM may cause some menubars to disappear - restarting panel will solve this
Cheers!

I tried pacman -S gtk2 and pacman -Sf gtk2 but pacman refused to unistall gtk-aqd because many other packages depend on it, even if gtk-aqd was my last installed one. Any idea? Here's my pacman -Sf output:

  • Windowck-plugin - port of "Window Applets" for Xfce panel

    I'm releasing a new version of  windowck-plugin in collaboration with the original author Alessio Piccoli. Part of this code is based on GNOME Window Applets from  Andrej Belcijan.
    It's main features are:
    - Show the title and buttons of the maximized window on the panel.
    - Allow window actions on buttons and title clicks (activate, (un)maximize, close).
    - Allow window action menu on left button click.
    - Title formatting options.
    - xfwm4/unity theming support for buttons.
    website: http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/panel- … wck-plugin
    Code is available here: https://github.com/cedl38/xfce4-windowck-plugin
    windowck-plugin AUR Page: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xfce … ck-plugin/
    In addition I've made a patch for xfwm4 based on Viktor Semykin work.
    AUR packages: xfwm4-titleless+ and xfwm4-titleless-dev (devel version).
    Fell free to leave your feedback in this thread. Enjoy!

    I’ve sumitted patches for this on bugzilla topic "Undecorate on maximize"
    nierro wrote:@cedricl: will your xfwm4 patch be accepted upstream, and becoming part of xfwm4.12?
    I really hope so.
    I don’t know what is the process for adding new features  to xfce but there is probably a discution between maintainers before.
    For now, I'll start follow the users feedback and fix issues. If there is enough interest and it follow project goals maybe it'll be integrated to xfce...

  • [solved] nm-applet does not show up in Gnome panel

    Hi all,
    I installed networkmanager, network-manager-applet and dbus this afternoon. As well as a fresh install of Gnome. This is all done on my laptop, which my wife wants to use now and then. I always set up the network CLI, but now I will need a nice flashy applet in the Gnome panel.
    I managed to run the network-connection-editor as root, and got the network up.
    I had some dbus problems when I tried launching nm-applet, but fixed it with a dbus-hack I found in some other thread. But when I now launch nm-applet, it says that there allready is an instance running of nm-applet.
    I guess it should show up in the panel, if it is. But I don't see anything there... Do you have any ideas of what I forgot to install/configure/check.
    Thanks,
    jocom

    There have been a couple similar posts recently. I'm not using Gnome anymore or networkmanager, so I don't know if there's a problem with it or not. If I remember correctly I had to install gnome-panel-bonobo, and I believe python-notify and gksu too. You can do a search on the wiki for networkmanager, there is a page for it that explains the configuration changes you'll need to make. Hope it helps.

  • [Solved] nm-applet not appearing in gnome panel

    Hi all.
    I recently replaced my wired network card with a wireless one.
    I then followed the instructions at the following pages to get the correct software installed:
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wi … orkManager
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NetworkManager
    My only problem now is that nm-applet does not appear in the gnome panel.
    Both nm-applet and networkmanager are running though, but the network is not up.
    If I then kill nm-applet and run it from the command line, it the creates the icon in gnome-panel and automatically connects to my wireless network.
    I've looked through all the related posts but I can't find anything that helps.
    I've tried to make my DAEMONS section of rc.conf as simple as possible:
    DAEMONS=(syslog-ng netfs crond dbus networkmanager alsa)
    but that didn't help either.
    Does anyone have any suggestions for me?
    As a side note I have a another machine with exactly the same wireless card with a fresh install and it works perfectly with regards to nm-applet.
    Perhaps it's a config setting that is causing the problem?

    Well since upgrading to gnome 3, I no longer have this problem so setting to solved.

  • Gnome Panel applet that shows output of system command.

    Hi all;
    Because of the recent hostile takeover of #archlinux channel by tilling WM fanatics..    I will ask here..
    Does any one know of a Gnome Panel applet that shows the output of system command of your choice?
    For people who Conky is a bit too much and they only want a simple piece of data available (like what is the current IP on ppp0 interface) like me..  this is a necessity.
    If its not in existence I would probably make one.. shouldn't take long, I also would like to hear if there is any interest.
    Thanks

    That's exactly what I was looking for!  Thank you!
    Changed code to:
    $dism = "X:\Windows\System32\Cmd.exe /c start CMD /k dism /apply-image /imagefile:D:\W7x86.wim /index:1 /applydir:C:\"
    And voila, new window opened with the live output of dism.
    new... and have a glazed over look about my eyes to prove it...

  • New network (and much more) monitor for XFCE panel

    A few years ago I wrote a tiny app to show a text network monitor in the XFCE panel, resembling the previous one I was familiarized with (in KDE?).
    The past month I started fixing a bug and ended in a full rewrite, but keeping the original simplicity (at least in the panel bar) despite that now reports far more than the network activity.
    The installation instructions are the same: download a single file (no dependencies), compile it, add a Generic Monitor Applet (XFCE) to the panel and configure it to load the new executable.
    I have updated the wiki page, but the full instructions and code is now hosted at github: "Hacker's Monitor for XFCE". Yes, it has a new name also.
    Here follows a screenshot with the mouse over the applet to open the tooltip (yes, I was intentionally doing a dd from /dev/sda into /dev/null ):

  • [REQ] OnTV (applet for Gnome)

    Hi, I'm wondering if some kind soul (you don't have to actually have a soul, I ain't that picky ) could provide a package for the applet OnTV for Gnome?
    I would have done it myself but I seem to be lacking the skills (to my defence I installed Arch for the first time yesterday). I have succesfully  managed to get it to appear in the appletlist though, but it doesn't work. (Gnome says there's an error and asks me if I want to keep it or remove it as soons as I add it to the panel.)
    EDIT: I could at least be nice enough to provide a link to its homepage...
    http://gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=617
    From its description:
    OnTV is a GNOME Applet for monitoring current and upcoming TV programs.
    OnTV is a GNOME Applet written in Python using PyGTK, it uses XMLTV files to monitor current and upcoming TV programs.

    Quickest way = AUR
    That's what I did.

  • A Win7 taskbar, Ubuntu Unity or OS X dock for gnome-panel?

    Is there a widget for gnome-panel that I can add applications to and at the same time show open applications, with only one icon per application?
    As the title suggest, I want something similar to the Windows 7 taskbar, or the Ubuntu Unity sidebar, or the OS X dock.
    I'm aware of Gnome Do. But it has a separate dock. I want these application icons to appear in a normal gnome panel.

    It doesn't work for me. Installed a fresh Arch after Python 3. I'll give this an own thread. Maybe.

  • Preview for XFCE Panel Window Buttons?

    In Windows 7 taskbar, theres a useful feature where mouse over taskbar icons (window buttons) will show a preview of the window, is there something like that for XFCE?  Its veryuseful especially when I have many PDF open and all icons look like a black piece of paper ...

    If you use compiz fusion as your window manager, then yes. It has a realtime preview function (and has had for years prior to win7). xfwm doesn't.
