Application menu in a panel

Hi guys, I'm wondering if and how is it possible to have the application menu (like file, edit and so on) in a panel like e.g. Ubuntu does. I'm interested in any way to do this. However please do not advise me to switch to Ubuntu

Thanks for your ideas,

Re: Application menu in a panel

Can you post a screenshot? It may be the DE they're using.

As I said, I mean the "file, edit,..." They are not in the application window but in a panel.

Re: Application menu in a panel

You might need something like libdbusmenu, appindicator, appmenu and gnome3 or kde. I don't know of any other desktop environments that support that stuff.
Edit: Enlightenment might support it, too. XFCE has some old work from 2011

PS: Please post only thumbnails or links to large images.

This reminded me of a classic post from 2008. Not sure how relevant it still is.

Great things come in tar.xz packages.
