Request: menu bar in the top bar like Unity

[Péter Prőhle]

I wish a Unity like desktop bar in Gnome, or the default desktop manager of Ubuntu.

More precisely: a desktop bar which is capable to steal, to take away the menu bars of the application windows, and show the menu bar of that application window which is in focus currently.

I wish this in the default desktop manager, what is currently Gnome if I know correctly.

The only reason why I still use the Unity is this feature what I find very comfortable.

Can I configure the Gnome desktop this way right now, or it needs an amount of programming, and a better knowledge of the gnome system?

If my wish is not only a simple configuration or a bit more only, and if the solution does not need far too deep knowledge of the Gnome desktop programming, then I am ready to program it, if someone gives me the references to concise reading materials enough for this work (I use and program computers since 1972 on regular daily base, and a I am fluent in unix/linux tools, including C/C++ what I teach regularly at the university).

[[it was suggested me at the AskUbuntu, that this kind of wishes fits here to the bug reports better, and somebody with enough privileges will mark this as a "wish list" item]]
