Elementary-like Nuvola menu

[Arturo Torres Sánchez]

Currently, Nuvola has an option to hide the menubar, and the menu is placed in an icon at the beginning of the toolbar.

Elementary OS has always used a design that matches Nuvola's, but with the difference that the menu is placed at the right, and with a gear icon. This is implemented in eOS' Granite API.

Nuvola should consider using Granite for the AppMenu, even if it's not an official elementary app, for consistency.

[Jiří Janoušek (fenryxo)]

Granite can't be used for multiple reasons:

1) Granite uses GTK+ 3, Nuvola Player GTK+ 2 (however, GTK+ 3 port is planned)
2) Granite has no stable release yet.
3) Granite is not packaged in any major distribution.

[Arturo Torres Sánchez (r2d2.art2005)]

In the meantime, can the design be recreated, or would it be duplicating
effort?
