Quickstart¶

Replace current-version in the examples with the current published release.

Compose Desktop Window¶

dependencies {
    implementation("dev.hansholz:advanced-menubar-awt:current-version")
}

Window(onCloseRequest = ::exitApplication, title = "Notes") {
    DefaultMacMenuBar(
        onAboutClick = { showAbout = true },
        onSettingsClick = { showSettings = true },
        onHelpClick = ::openHelp,
    )
    NotesScreen()
}

Use AdvancedMacMenuBar for a custom native macOS structure, SwingMenuBar for an explicit Swing menu, or CompatibilityMenuBar to choose AppKit on macOS and Swing on Windows/Linux.

Nucleus Tao window¶

Tao comes from Nucleus.

dependencies {
    implementation("dev.hansholz:advanced-menubar-tao:current-version")
}

taoApplication {
    DecoratedWindow(onCloseRequest = ::exitApplication, title = "Notes") {
        DefaultMacMenuBar(appName = "Notes")
        NotesScreen()
    }
}

Both artifacts target JVM 21. Follow the Nucleus documentation for Tao window and application packaging setup.
