Dear Geany Devs,
Since I only use a couple of toolbar items, it would be really nice if the toolbar could be merged with the menu so that the extra 'toolbar' isn't needed anymore.
Example:
[=======================Geany======================_oX] [File Edit Search ... Build Tools Help <toolbar items>] [tabs |tabs ] [sidebar|editor ] [ | ] [ | ] [ | ] [=====================================================]
I also have the same configuration in Firefox (menu + bookmark folder), and it saves me a reasonable amount of screen estate (especially on my 10" 1024x600px EEE PC).
Cheers!
-H-

Done in SVN r3668, see attached screenshot. The Toolbar tab in the preferences dialog now has an option "Append Toolbar to the Menu".

Haha, me too. At least those days when I used Firefox...

Cool!
Just downloaded, compiled and tested it, but there's a minor 'bug'(?) in it as the background of the toolbar items isn't the same as the menu's background... ('Xfce' theme; see also attached image)
Firefox does render this correctly...

With my ugly style on Windows it appears to be ok. Which style are you using?

Seems theme-related. I get this weirdness too with the Ubuntu netbook remix theme.
Best regards.

Could very well be, but all default Xfce 4.4/Xubuntu 8.10 shipped themes (except for "Mist", "ThinIce" and "Redmond") are failing...

Harold already said that, find "Xfce theme" exactly 5 lines above :).

This doesn't mean anything. The themes are not really wrong neither is what Geany does.
The menubar is just another type of widget as the toolbar and the default Xfce theme does style them differently. This is why you see different background colours. But you can either use another theme (another means also adjusting the Xfce theme) or overwrite the appropriate widget styles in your ~/.gtrc-2.0.
In SVN r3675 I added widget names for the menubar and toolbar: GeanyMenubar resp. GeanyToolbar this should make it easier to reference them in gtkrc's.
Regarding Firefox: this is just another thing where Firefox is broken. I'm not sure what Firefox does differently but I guess it overwrites widget styles or something. But this should not be done by an application.

I forgot to mention, the relevant bit for your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 would be:
style "geanymenubar" = "default" { blah } widget "Geany*.GeanyMenubar*" style "geanymenubar"
And 'blah' needs to be replaced with the proper bits to override the themes default styling of the menubar.
To be honest, I have no idea what has to be overridden to get it working, I also don't know much about GTK theming :(.
But I know Olivier Fourdan, the Xfce window manager and theming guru and also a Geany user :). IIRC he wrote the default Xfce theme and probably know how to change it. Just ask him (and say greetings from Enrico, maybe that helps, maybe that makes it worse, haha).
