Menu bar for JavaFX application (Mac OS) - javafx

working on Macbook.
I'm learning JavaFX and can't understand the concept of main menu.
There are many tutorials on a youtube, showing how to create a menu in JavaFX application. But when I expand my JavaFX application, it's menu does not integrated in main menu of MacOS. I.e. I see JavaFX's menu, and when I move my mouse to the top of the screen, MacOS menu appears separately.
Is it possible to integrate JavaFX menu into MacOS? Like in all other applications - when you see apple icon in the left side, and all other buttons belong to currently open program.
Kind regards,
Gennadiy

How to create Status Bar icons for Android

I have created a Xamarin Forms app and have enabled push notifications. The notifications are appearing just fine, but the icon is always just a grey box on the Android version.
I need to create icons for the app that can be displayed in the status bar. I'm not a graphic designer, and just want to display a very simple icon. I read somewhere that if I specify just the -xxhdpi version that Android will automatically resize all icons for smaller screens, but this doesn't seem to be working.
What is an easy way to create the icons I need for -hdpi, -xhdpi, -xxhdpi resolutions?
You can use AndroidAssetStudio.
Android Asset Studio is a web-based set of tools for generating graphics and other assets for Android applications that helps developers create graphic assets with just a few clicks. Currently available asset generators include:
Launcher icons - the visual representation of your app
Action bar icons - are graphic buttons from top application bar and represent the most important actions
Notification icons - is the icon that the system it’s display in the status bar when a new notification appears
Generic icons - are small / contextual icons used in the body of your app
Simple nine-patches - generate graphics elements for different screen densities
App Theme - create simple and attractive custom action bar style

Qt/QML: Custom menu exceeding window boundaries

I want to create a custom Qt/QML menu like the main menu in Firefox:
As you can see, the menu can exceed the boundaries of the main window if it is bigger than the main window. Is there any way to achieve such behavior in Qt? I tried with the native Menu QML component, but this only gives me a default OS context menu with very vew customization options. I want full control over how the menu looks like and its contents (i.e. the same possibilities I have for a normal QML component or widget).
Qt Quick Controls 1 has Menus that are native and hence are not limited to window bounds.
Qt Quick Controls 2 does not yet have support for native Menus. You can track that here.
Qt Labs Platform has a native menu.
However, I doubt that any of these options will be sufficient in your case, as native menu support means utilising whatever the OS provides, which is probably not flexible enough to implement the menu shown in the image.
As mentioned by #hyde, one option may be to create a Window and implement your menu in there.

Customize XFCE4 Applications Menu applet stylesheet

I am curious to where the XFCE4 Applications Menu applet directory is located. I would like to edit the applet so that vertical text on top of a graphic is displayed alongside the left hand side of the applet (kind of like Windows 95). Any ideas?

Application-wide menu bar in JavaFX 2.1?

The JavaFX 2.1 Release Notes states that this release includes,
UI enhancements, including controls for Combo Box, Stacked Chart, and application-wide menu bar.
What does the "application-wide menu bar" mean? What does it imply?
Looked for UI Components but could not find any reference to it.
I believe the comment refers to the new JavaFX 2.1 ability to set a menu bar to act as a system level application menu bar. For example, on Mac, it would be the menu bar at the top of the screen.
I think the added property is MenuBar.useSystemMenuBarProperty.
Windows (and some Linux window managers) don't have the same concept, so I don't think the property does anything on those platforms.

Flex 4: Is it possible to show a Flex application on clicking a button in another flex app

I remember launching a JFrame from within a JApplet.
I was wondering if I could do the same.
The requirement is like this
I have a screen estate just enough for a flex Button.
On clicking this button, I want to open another flex app which can be of larger real estate.
I dont want to open a new Browser window.
IS it remotely possible.
Your question is very unclear and referencing java applets is even more confusing. I'd suggest you learn more about flex; free tutorial videos on the adobe website. look into viewstacks, navigation and loading modules.
