Use GtkHeaderBar and set dark theme by default in Linux version of brackets-shell #10746

Would be a very good improvement to use the GtkHeaderBar widget in the Llinux version of brackets-shell. Even better if you set the dark theme by default. It will provide better desktop integration, and the possibility to change the window decoration style through css.

Also, moving the menubar to the top or making a menu inside a GtkMenuButton would be a big improvement too.

@erasmo-marin This is definently a good idea! You could start a thread on brackets-dev (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/brackets-dev) to get more thoughts on this and also find someone in the forum you would be interested in collaborating to work on this, as Linux side of things in Brackets are mostly driven by the community.

However, right now we are having a blocker(Crash on quit) on Linux which is stopping us from upgrading CEF to a newer version. It would be great if you can help us fix that.

All of the work is going on in this branch. https://github.com/adobe/brackets-shell/tree/jasonsanjose/cef_2171_linux

@nethip Thanks for the information. I already tried to fix this but brackets-shell is not compiling. I will try this branch instead. Thanks again.

@erasmo-marin I believe @ingorichter has already done some work on a native menu bar for the Linux shell... I'm not sure if it's posted on a branch anywhere though. See adobe/brackets#7236.
