I came with that in mind, What if you don't know if an application have a menu or not ?
For exemple, you are a newbie. You are opening Firefox, where is the menu ? Nothing appear until you figure out that "He is hidden on the top of the screen".
I think what should be done is making use of the extra space after the title of the application. The title should be first, and after that, the global menu. If there is not enough space, just show what can be shown on the extra space (the lasts entries of the menu, and the firsts ones hidden)
I know this is really confusing, so I send with all that understandable text a little picture of what I have in mind.
By the way, it's not meat to be perfectly like my "mockup", but the idea is to make the menu more easily discoverable and make use of the not used space (the menu could be aligned right or track the window to make use of this extra space) |
