applet-window-appmenu VS Fildem

Hi all, At the moment I am giving tumbleweed another go. I am installing all my app- even though I am using the rpm versions (I come from Kubuntu). Previously, with psifidotos' appMenu, https://github.com/psifidotos/applet-window-appmenu, I could use VScode with the global menu. However, now it seems to not be working any longer. Any ideas what might be going on?

The player widget is mediacontroller_plus and the global menu is applet-window-appmenu

If it doesn't work, don't uninstall the above packages and try this applet (it is easier to install it from the KDE store).

My approach: $ git clone https://github.com/psifidotos/applet-window-appmenu.git to my ~/Downloads and run install.sh script

You could try this widget instead: https://github.com/psifidotos/applet-window-appmenu

Last time I used a global menu I used this applet https://github.com/psifidotos/applet-window-appmenu to get it working with GTK apps. Worked way better than the default applets.

I don't know ow the ins and outs of fedora and running scripts from the internet can end badly. If you're ok with that risk I'd look at the installation.md file. Near the bottom are directions for fedora.

Hey guys, new linux user here coming from windows. I have installed fedora and I am following a tutorial and it is asking me to install this. https://github.com/psifidotos/applet-window-appmenu

What you are looking for is called Global Menu. AFAIK is not supported on GNOME. There was an extension: Fidem but I'm not sure if it works nowadays.

LINK to Fildem Global Menu

Fildem is not maintained ATM. Installation might still work though https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/11xwqux/global_menu/ + https://github.com/gonzaarcr/Fildem/issues/166

Oh right, I remember that feature from Unity!

Apparently Fildem is a spiritual successor for Gnome.

So, any solution for that, please? I saw this guy saying on the repo that it got it working on Fedora 35, with these same packages, so are not there any solutions for it to work on 36?

Yes i did just get the fildem_0.6.7_all.deb file from gitub latest release and change in the extension ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/metadata.json under shell-version add 42. Than follow the instructions in the README.md

Did you try Fildem to have global menu?

Oh man, please have a look at this at least fildem

The git repo for that extension has a commit called "Added gnome 42 compatibility" that just adds "42" to the list of supported versions in the metadata.json.
