Hello! I’ve just tried out the ubuntu budgie 18.04 the first time and I really miss the unity global menu which saves a lot of space. I’ve found a ppa to try out “ How To Enable Global Menus in Ubuntu Budgie | Ubuntu Budgie ”, but when adding the source it complains it’s missing: The team named ‘~…

Thanks! That easy! I basically needed the global menu, pixel saver applets plus removing center positioned applets from top panel to get it unified as was in unity desktop. Great success!

:slight_smile: don’t forget you can also use the autohide feature of the panel to get a few pixels. If you are using Pocillo - there is a Pocillo-slim variant in budgie-settings which again saves lots more pixels.

Just be aware that longest app-menus ( LibreOffice, Gimp… ) might get truncated when global menu is left aligned : their far right parts from center of panel might be missing. And strangely enough, put global menu applet at center of panel gives enough room for the whole app-menus to be displayed. …

No global menu, PPA source missing "ubuntu/global-menu-test"

just look in the menu for “budgie applets” - install the global menu applet. Log out - login and add the global menu applet to your panel.
