Artificial Intelligence Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 Greetings! Is there an easy way to add custom menu(s) to the gnome Panel, like the 'Application', 'Places' and 'System' but where you can name your own and "fill" it with application shortcuts as you fit? If there aren't an easy way can anyone show me the hard way? I was thinking making my gnome desktop a MacOS wannabe. .:=The AI Dude=:.

bvc Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 back to d3a? you seem to be using the wrong size panelbg what size is your panel? (rt-click>properties) you want something like this? http://img163.echo.cx/my.php?image=screenshot50up.png have patience....very large, or imageshack is slow -You have to make a panel background with the text on it and set it with the rt-click>properties>background tab. Make sure the panelbg in the gtk theme and the panel background are the same height/made from the same image as below. -add a drawer to the panel where the text is (note the screenie above only shows the text. There are no drawers, as so no ugly drawer arrow) and use a completely transparent image as the icon for the drawer. made from the d3a/gtk-2.0/panelbg36.png http://kwh.kernow-gb.com/~bvc/images/panel-36x1280.png rt-click>save as>edit in gimp http://kwh.kernow-gb.com/~bvc/images/panel-36x1280.xcf if you need another size, you'll have to make if (scale it) in gimp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artificial Intelligence Posted July 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Many thanks, bvc :) Oh, the panel size I'm using is size 30 (standard is 25). I don't know what's happen to it. I reinstalled my OS and downloaded the d3a and it shows up like this. Never happen before with d3a... .:=The AI Dude=:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 hmmm...default is supposed to be 24 just scale up the 24 in the theme to 30 and rename accordingly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artificial Intelligence Posted July 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 I don't quite understand how you got rid of the arrow of the drawer. By the way I hope th people behind Gnome makes it possible to make own menues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artificial Intelligence Posted July 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Another question: How do I add the text (the name) of the application next to the icon in the drawer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 It's not my screenshot. It's in here (June) and Dominatus's http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?show...c=326181&st=165 here's July http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=338827&st=30 If you don't see an arrow, there's no drawer. There's no way to get rid of it as of now. I doubt that'll change, at least not anytime soon. Drawers don't/can't have text 'in' them. If you mean on the panel background, use gimp. That gimp file already has 2 text layers (black/white) that say AI's Menu. You can move them around to position them (or remove the white), change the text, and duplicate them to change the text for another menu. Then 'save as' a png. I rarely use the menu so I don't know much about the issue. If I'm correct, there was an app made to edit the menu, then everyone started switching to the new freedesktop stardard. I don't know if the app has been rewritten or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artificial Intelligence Posted July 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Okay, thanks. Well I think I just wait until it's possible to do it in an easy way :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
