[Solved] Command bar

Hi, I'd like to know if it's possible to add a command bar in the panel just like in the image.

Re: [Solved] Command bar

I tried to install Top menu, but it doesn't work. Yes, I restarted the pc, anyone knows what could be the problem?

Re: [Solved] Command bar

Hmmm, works here.

Which version of Xubuntu are you running?

Also, what are the results of:

env| grep -i modules

...and:

ls -l /etc/profile.d

Re: [Solved] Command bar

I can't be sure because my eyesight is not great, the text in the terminal window in his included image is small, and he used Photobucket (which won't show images when "clicked-to-visit" without me allowing it to run scripts on my computer) instead of ZimageZ... But it looks like he used yauort to perform the installation. Isn't that an Arch command instead of a *buntu one?

IDK if that'd have any thing to do with the failure, though.

MDM

I'm running Antergos (Arch based)

this is the outcome

env| grep -i modules

GTK_MODULES=canberra-gtk-module

ls -l /etc/profile.d

You're right, this is the image on Zimagez

Sorry, I thought it was Xubuntu from the wallpaper in your first image.

You need to export the "topmenu-gtk-module". On my xubuntu install:

GTK_MODULES=canberra-gtk-module:topmenu-gtk-module

The Xubuntu install creates an /etc/profile.d/topmenu.sh file which is sourced on login. Contents are:

#!/bin/sh
export GTK_MODULES=$GTK_MODULES:canberra-gtk-module:topmenu-gtk-module

Re: [Solved] Command bar

You need to export the "topmenu-gtk-module"

How can I do that? I tried pasting what you wrote in the terminal but it didn't work (Yes, I'm a noobster)

Re: [Solved] Command bar

Would this help?

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=195976

Solution by the maintener of the package :

You need to ensure the Gtk+ module topmenu-gtk-moduleis loaded. A simple way to do this is to create a .gtkrc-2.0 file in your $HOME with the following contents:

gtk-modules = "canberra-gtk-module:topmenu-gtk-module"
or put GTK_MODULES="topmenu-gtk-module:canberra-gtk-module" in your ~/.xprofile or ~/.xinitrc .

It worked for me

(But not with libreoffice)
