Which Desktop Environment has (or can have) global menus (apart from Unity)?

  • 772

In Unity global menus auto-hide, which is completely nuts. – But in general I like the functionality for maximized windows (as long as it doesn’t disappear).

Which DE can do global menus and has them:

  • permanent (no timeout)
  • for maximized windows only?

  1. What I’ve read:

    • Super Wingpanel (not a DE) can can do that task
    • gnome-globalmenu does it for Gnome2 and now also Gnome3

    I have no idea yet if they can be configured to the limitations mentioned in the question (maximized windows, no timeout).
