Hi, after inspect the source of NSMenu.m and others files. I think that
I can try to implement the option NSWindows95InterfaceStyle. I have one
idea to do that, and I want know what do you think about this.
Well, I think that the most easy and elegant way to implement this is
make a new window with the horizontal menu and with a standard toolbar.
In others words, don't put the menu in an app's window. Instead this,
make a new window (main window) to set the horizontal menu. For example,
if an app is like this
_____
|Menu |
| |
| | ____________________________________
| | |___________________________________|
|_____| | |
| |
| |
| |
| App's window |
| |
| |
| |
| |
|___________________________________|
After set NSWindows95InterfaceStyle, the app's look will by like this
__________________________
|_Main window_____________|
| <-- Menu -- > |
|_________________________|
| <- a standard |
| toolbar --> |
|_________________________|
________________________________________
|________________________________________|
| |
| |
| |
| |
| App's window |
| |
| |
| |
| |
|________________________________________|
To my this is an elegant solution, because make an horizontal menu and,
at the same time, conserve a distinctive look. In other hand, there are
many apps that implements that look, familiar to many people. Of course,
the programmer will by able to set his own toolbar in the main menu.
What do you think about this idea?
