            Bug ID: 358390
           Summary: Main Toolbar improvement suggestion: make main top
                    menu a "Menu" button in the main toolbar (graphical
                    mock-up included)
           Product: kdenlive
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: User Interface
          Assignee: j...@kdenlive.org
          Reporter: jesse.dub...@gmail.com

See mock-up for a visual. What if you did away with the old main menu bar at
the top and made it the first button in the main toolbar? The icon could be the
new Kdenlive breeze icon, with the text "Menu" (or whatever text you want) to
the right of it; and the menu options could be arranged similar to the context
menus in the Kdenlive widgets: where the options are listed vertically, and the
sub-menu options open to the right of it.

BENEFITS:
(1) Would eliminate the oldy-hokey look of the traditional text-only menu bar,
and give a nice, sleek-looking menu that falls in line with the rest of the
Kdenlive menu styles
(2) Would increase the default program real-estate by removing the space taken
up by the top menu bar, leaving more room for the editor widgets themselves
(3) There's PLENTY of space in the main and extra toolbars

You could make it a mandatory button so the user couldn't accidentally get rid
of it if customizing the toolbars.

Food for thought. :)

Reproducible: Always
