Hi,
I'm using XFCE and I love it: it has a good support for multi-screens. I use dockx and I see that it's possible to get a globalmenu like unity for the applications.
I've installed:
community/appmenu-qt4
aur/appmenu-gtk-module-git
aur/appmenu-qt5-git
aur/vala-panel-appmenu-translations-git
aur/vala-panel-appmenu-valapanel-git
aur/vala-panel-appmenu-xfce-git
I have now the appmenu plugin (external)in the upper board of xfce
It works fine with thunar, libreoffice, ardour, vlc, gimp or openshot ... but not with google-chrome, firefox or skypeforlinux... I see screenshots on the web show it should fine with crhome or firefox.
Do I miss something?
ps: sorry for my english

From https://github.com/rilian-la-te/vala-panel-appmenu:
Install these libdbusmenu-glib libdbusmenu-gtk3 libdbusmenu-gtk2 to get Chromium/Google Chrome to work
Have you installed those? There's also some issue with firefox I read on the issue tracker, see https://github.com/rilian-la-te/vala-pa … /issues/17
skypeforlinux should work as it's based on electron which is supposed to be supported.

Oh thanks, these packages were missed. It works great for chrome now, but not for firefox nor skype.
edit: it works with skype after a reboot

I am sorry, but only Firefox with Ubuntu patches works.

I followed the guide on
https://github.com/rilian-la-te/vala-panel-appmenu
But some of my application don't have appmenu. Firefox, google-chrome, vlc player are few of them
Can you note down what ubuntu patches that I should look at to get this going.
Thanks
