In my experience, Xfce is rock-solid although it's not light-weight. LXDE is also stable, but not as stable as Xfce, I think (for example I had a problem with broken obconf.)
KDE is apparently unstable and resource eating, but the design is invariable, I think. Light-weight and descent design . . . I'm interested in Razor-qt (http://razor-qt.org/) and wish I can try it if I have a netbook.

Just as a heads up, QtCurve is amazing but if you want easy gorgeousness with transparency on your desktop try oxygen-transparent.

I understand. You can still have menus but its just an extra way to interface with programs. I use it for quick navigation of programs. It's not everybody's cup of tea.
Yeah, I'm also not a fan of transparency + text, so I don't put a lot of transparency on, just a little for effect.

Thanks dmeyer.
Although neighter appmenu-runner nor oxygen-transparent seem my favorite (I want to see menus for always, and don't like to see texts on a transparent background), these are quite interesting. I really want to join a KDE meeting to see how other users use KDE.Last edited by culip; Oct 29, 2012, 03:59 AM.

As said, lo-menubar fixes it. There is also a Firefox version. I also go for the global menu effect. I just feel it unifies my desktop. There is something known as appmenu-runner (a krunner plug-in) which means that if you map a runner to say meta+space you can get an effect very much like unity's HUD. I love it and use it all the time to avoid going through menus. I must say, for all the **** that Unity makes you endure, they do some things fantastically!

lo-menubar worked with KDE menubar
Originally posted by ntt2005 View PostActually, lo-menubar extension works with KDE as well. On my KDE 4.8 desktop, the Windows Menubar widget works very well with firefox, libraoffice or any other gtk+ apps, in the same manner as KDE apps.
With QTCurve theme, Icon Task Manager widget, Windows Menubar widget, I have a uniform appereance in all gtk, kde applications with mac-like menu and dock.

I think you could "improve" your situation" to some extent with LibreOffice by combining toolbars, and showing only the options you actually use to save some space.

This is a late one perhaps but is a partial answer to the question. Firefox doesn't work with Window Menubar if "Global Menu Bar integration" addon is disabled. A mixed bag though...

Thank you guys.
It's a bit surprising for me because Firefox & LibreOffice/OpenOffice are very common applications. I wish I can dissect "Window Menubar" and contribute its improvement someday--I feel it the biggest annoyance as far as I've been using KDE. (In other words, I've been happy with KDE these days )

Edit: I mean it doesn't work with Libre Office or for Firefox. Gimp is OK.Last edited by rms; Mar 18, 2012, 09:51 AM.

It can be made to auto hide. Explore & try its various settings.
