Review request for KDE Software on Mac OS X and Yichao Yu.
Repository: qtcurve
Description
-------
OS X/macOS uses the well-known toplevel menubar by default, but menus and menu items \
in that bar are subject to restrictions. Notably they are reparented, which can lead \
to issues when they're intended to be used in multiple locations (menus). This is \
typically the case with menus and actions created via KXMLGui. A workaround can \
usually be found in that case, but that is not normally a trivial tweak for the \
average user.
An example: the Tools/Mode and Tools/Hightlighting menus from the KTextEditor \
framework, which are populated almost exclusively with disabled submenus.
The easiest workaround is not to use the native menubar, and this patch adds a \
possibility to achieve that via QtCurve. The straightforward command not to use a \
native menubar doesn't have the expected effect with all applications, so the feature \
is implemented as a per-application preference.
An attempt is made to handle changes in the setting dynamically, but due to the \
nature of the controlled widget it is strongly advised to restart the target \
application.
The settings are read and written on all platforms, but the actual menubar commands \
are executed only on OS X.
