Plasma 5.9.0 reintroduces the ability to change your menu bar into a button or a Plasma widget. Unfortunately the title bar button does not work with Aurorae themes. If this option is chosen, and the menu button is configured under the KWin button settings, the normal menu bar disappears but no button is shown on the title bar in its place. To reproduce: 1. Go to: Configure Desktop - Appearance - Application Style - Widget Style - Fine Tuning. Set "Menubar style" to "Title bar button". 2. Also go to: Configure Desktop - Appearance - Application Style - Widget Style - Window Decorations - Buttons. Make sure you have the menu button somewhere on your title bar (the icon with 3 dashes). 3. Open any native KDE application, such as Dolphin or KWrite or KCalc. Result: The normal menu bar is gone, but there is no button on the title bar. The button should show where it was configured, as seen in the official screenshot: https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.9/global-menus-window-bar.png Additional: Could this be due to the themes not having a button (svg element) for this feature? As I'm not aware what the name of the new svg file must be, I am currently unable to test this. I remember that in KDE4, the application icon would be used in this circumstance. Themes I have tested with: Colorbit: https://www.opendesktop.org/p/1002614/ Freeze: https://www.opendesktop.org/p/1002663/
> Could this be due to the themes not having a button (svg element) for this feature? Yes, quite likely. Though in KDE 4 times I think we just used the icon button again.
