AW: sane way to keep menubar on mac (and what about windows???)

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Hi Richard,
In the main stack I create a menu with the menu builder and check the option
"set as stack menu bar"
With this option checked, the menu will be integrated in Apples menu on Mac
and on windows it get a windows menu bar at the top of your stacks window.
Its' up to you, if you resize your window on Mac (less height), because you
don't need the space for the menu bar in your window as on windows.
I am not sure, if this is what you are asking for.
Tiemo

Betreff: sane way to keep menubar on mac (and what about windows???)

My primary target is mac, but I'll probably sell more windows than mac over
the long run, so I can't *completely* ignore it.

After mucking around and installing menus, I'm not seeing a sane solution to
keep application menus around.

My experimenting suggests that to keep the menu for the main stack (which
I've made the default menu), the main stack needs to be visible.  I tried to
make the main stack invisible, but this gives me the single application
menu, rather than its.

My interim solution is rather than invisibility, it pops to above the screen
with a negative bottom, and flipping down when needed.

This, however, seems just plain nuts.

And WIndows would present the same problem

To reveal my windows side ignorance (yes, I've really never owned a windows
box!), just how *does* a windows program present a menu or choices before
it has a user window open?   Leave around a gratuities window?
