2014-06-28 22:34:01 Adnan description Hi, I recently moved from windows 7 to ubuntu. one of the things that is really strange to me is the system tray / notification area / main menu bar "launcher icons" do not auto hide in to a sub menu like windows xp, vista, 7, & 8. It looks like a windows 2000 system tray with icons taking over the entire bar /panel. I for one like to have a lot of launcher icons which i only use sparingly. this feature /bug is especially annyoing for me because the main menu bar in ubuntu doubles as a universal menu and title bar for all apps /windows (when maximized) and it also contains the main menu and (maximize, minimize, close) buttons leaving even less space. I use the window title bar for every thing like click, draging and dropping, maximizing / restoring windows, right click "menu item close", so since i cant see the menus and the launcher icons take up all the space i end up either clicking on the invisible menu or on one of the launcher icons when i try to do one of the said actions. In addition if i remove the items from main menu bar then it might be difficult for me to display them if i need them which might require some commands in terminal. Please create an auto-hide (sub menu) for launcher icons. system info: ubuntu 14.04 LTS files 3.10.1 Hi, I recently moved from windows 7 to ubuntu. one of the things that is really strange to me is the system tray / notification area / main menu bar "launcher icons" do not auto hide in to a sub menu like windows xp, vista, 7, & 8.
