Created attachment 181444 [details]
The NeoChat's global menu compared to an other app global menu (dolphin in this case)

SUMMARY
Thanks to global menu and an applet that show the software name, I managed to make a OS X like top panel. However, NeoChat do have his name within his menu bar making the name displayed twice.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Configure a top panel in plasma with a global menu.
2. Add an applet that display the name of the current software at the left of the global menu (I used https://store.kde.org/p/2135509).
3. Open NeoChat.

OBSERVED RESULT
The NeoChat's global menu show his name doubling it in the top panel.

EXPECTED RESULT
The global menu should start with "File" instead of "NeoChat".

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux 
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.90
NeoChat Version: 25.04.1
Software source: Arch's extra repository
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.14.0

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Yeah, this is quite bizzare, the only other app I've seen doing this has been DaVinci Resolve. Both items in the NeoChat should probably be moved under File, or Quit should be moved under File and Configure under a new Settings menu. The "Configure" option also brings up a non-functional Configure window, separate from the one that appears when clicking on the button in the bottom-left corner
