How to make Lubuntu or LXDE panel to be on the top and behave like Ubuntu / MacOS panel (having the application menu placed to panel)

I have a small laptop screen and I like this ability of Ubuntu very much. I use LXDE with Lubuntu just because it takes far less system resources.

I'm not sure if I understand correctly what your system is but for a simple Lubuntu system (which comes with LXDE and other requisites), clicking anywhere in the blank area right at the top or the bottom of the screen should bring up this:

clicking in blank area

Then, in that window, clicking on "Panel Settings" should bring up this:

Panel Settings

The options are self-explanatory here and the choices are quite a few.

As I said, this is with a proper Lubuntu installation.

  • I found it's not possible to do with Luuntu. The first thing I tried is this properties. I already put the panel to the top. But the application menu's like "File", "Edit", "Toos" are not added to a panel, like it's done in Ubuntu or MacOS – Zelid Apr 17 '13 at 13:21
  • Aha! You want the global menu. I haven't come across anything about adding the global menu to Lubuntu. –  Apr 17 '13 at 15:06
  • The closest I get is [this Ask Ubuntu question](http://askubuntu.com/q/66181/25656) but it relates to 11.10 and focuses on Xubuntu. –  Apr 18 '13 at 01:08
