Just moved from Unity to GNOME with the update to Ubuntu 17.10. There is a HUGE amount of wasted space at the top of the screen, when an application is open.  Evolution and Firefox both have four "bars" with 90% of each empty. Unity, to its credit was able to blend / mix these horizontal bars so there was only one / two.      Four is way too much. If this is GNOME I may carry on with Unity for the next six months.  Can anybody suggest a tweak/change/fix for this?

I'm using Xubuntu 16.04 on a laptop, which means a confined screen space and a desperate need for global menu. I've tried  I've tried  (the classic option), but it looks like it hasn't been updated for 16.04 yet. Then I discovered that it's in the official repos, but still it doesn't work. When I try to add the plugin to a panel the only result is panel becoming opaque.  I've also tried  (the alternative version), but I failed to understand how to compile it.  Is there a way to get global menu working in 16.04, or I should just relax and wait for topmenu to be updated?

When I was using ubuntu 14.04, it's easy to set title. Just press F2 or move mouse to top menu. But there is no menu on ubuntu 16.04 and press F2 can't change the title. What should I do?

This is how my desktop looks after the update, the top bar turning grey and the addition of the bottom bar happened after the update.    From my searching of screenshots this does not appear to be how it is supposed to be. Is there any way to fix it?

Why do applications like synaptic (and other that need root privilege) have their menus in the window instead of top panel? Is it going to change or will it stay like that to indicate that user is on root privileges?

I tried to install "Macbuntu" which is not compatible with 13.04 and I don't know why? But I used force option on command line nothing changed so I uninstalled "macbuntu". Now the problem is that the top menu just disappeared. For example when I'm using sublime_text or Chrome there is no menu option (File, Edit, etc..) on the panel. I tried using unity --reset-icons option but it didn't work. Any help will be appreciated.

I installed Ubuntu 12.10 and at first when I go to check the system information I used to have (unknown) on the graphic card section, I used the synaptic manager and downloaded the fglrx, after that I restarted my laptop and now I don't have any menus, all of them are gone.  Now I am only using the keyboard shortcuts to use Ubuntu. My graphic card is AMD ATI.  What can I do to bring the menus back?

I am using Ubuntu 18.04. I realize with GNOME, or its extensions, I can do things like hide the title bar. However, I want to hide the title bar and still see the windows management icons like on Mac OS and Windows.   Is this possible?

I'm on Ubuntu 16.04.1 at the moment, and system windows like the Files window, Terminal or System Software open behind the Unity launcher, which means they are partially hidden behind it. I can move them with Alt+F7, but I'd like a more permanent solution to this problem.

Sorry for being so simple but i'm finding it really difficult to work out how to split screens and then rejoin them.   so i grab the corner of a screen and drag it creates a new screen then i grab the corner again and sometimes it creates a new one and sometimes it merges them.   I'm a bit confused about the controls.  I looked on the 2.8 manual and I think its a bit out of date as it looks the same as 2.79.  Any help is greatly appreciated

The new top bar layout is fine, but the black color is very visually jarring/intrusive.  Is using a lighter color an available option?

I'm working on a desktop machine with plenty of screen real-estate, so I don't need my windows' title bars to merge with the global menu bar when the windows are maximised. Moreover, I'm working on a dual-screen set-up, so the fact that a window is maximised doesn't mean that it's the only window visible.  Before Unity I'd switch to a maximised window by clicking on its title bar, or close the window, even though it isn't focused, by clicking on its close button; I can no longer do this because the title bar is missing and the global menu bar is empty on that screen. This isn't a huge problem - I can click on some of the window's chrome to focus it - but it's unintuitive and it's forcing me to relearn my mousing behaviour.  I'd like to turn-off the merging of title and global menu bars, but how?  EDIT:  I simply want the title bar of the window NOT to merge with the top panel whenever I maximize a Window. The global menu should stay in the top panel as far as I am concerned. Current it maximizes like this     I want it to maximize like this (In that screeny the unmaximized Window has been resized to take rest of the space)

I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04 and found that menus for many applications do not show on the menu bar, as it is configured in 'Settings > Appearance'. For example: menus for Filezilla, Geary, Libreoffice Writer and Software center do not show. I have not tested every app, but I can tell you that browsers (Chrome, Firefox) do have their menus on the menu bar. In addition, if I change the configuration to show menus "in the window's title bar", they don't show either.  Any clues?  Best regards.

The bar at the very bottom of the screen went away while I was trying to make an intro, its the one with all the frames and options of view, marker, frame, playback, start, end, and the play button. Please help me, how do I get it back!?
