Description Rob Staudinger 2006-04-26 11:52:07 UTC 
Windows native menubars are flat while the win32 native gtk engine draws them with an etched in border.

Actually, menu bars in Windows can be either flat or etched-in. MSIE/Explorer use etched-in, while some other Microsoft apps (eg. wordpad) use flat menubars. It might be possible to convince me not to follow MSIE's lead here.

That would be great. MS Office of course doesn't use standard widgets but not having borders results in a very clean look. Added an MS Office screenshot for reference.

They're now drawn flat, as per bug 340201.
