Make menus more consistent and intuitive
Before all: very first pull request ever, so sorry for everything.
This pull request changes the following things:
-
I noticed an ugliness in the formatting.
-
The about dialog has moved to the bottom. This is more consistent and intuitive in my opinion, as it is a rather unimportant item. An application menu should probably have the applications at the top.
-
Made separators consistent.
Opinions are welcome.
This is a helpful change from a UX perspective. Now the XDG menu is at the top.
It was me who created "compact" and "single" menu. My idea was to move "About" out of the way (on top for a bottom panel) as this entry is used very rarely normally. Thinking about it offering an inverted menu for top panels could be a good idea, with "search..." on top.
And I think there is no need for the menu to be "consistent" among them - again, the idea was to offer alternative layouts.
Thinking about it offering an inverted menu for top panels could be a good idea, with "search..." on top.
"Search" is an item in the menu. With an inverted menu, every item should be inverted. IMO, such a menu will look unnatural.
I don't see any benefit to putting "Search" above the menu and keeping the other items as they are either (I use a top panel) but I'm not against its implementation (which I think isn't trivial).
As for this PR, I think it's a just matter of taste and there are as many tastes as users.
I didn't think of inverting all, just about "search" and maybe "leave" on top.
PS: for some reason I saw this PR only today.
