Autohide menu bar #135

Closed kynikos closed 10 years ago

kynikos commented 11 years ago

Set the menu bar to autohide? (like Firefox's "Hide Menubar" add-on)

Also see if it would really be possible to show it with F10 or Alt. Maybe also let having a menu icon in the status bar, as an alternative, activatable with the same keyboard shortcuts, more convenient for those who prefer mouseless control. The menu in this case could be a simple one, not a menu bar.

wxMenuBar seems to have a MB_DOCKABLE style on GTK, if can be useful for this.

The problem is making it lay on top of the existing widgets, instead of "pushing" them down. Maybe a solution could be creating a child, borderless Frame that appears at the top, and associate the menu there.
