In Mac OS there is one global menubar on topof the screen that is used by the application that is in focus at the moment, this saves space on the screen and gives the user a more consistent interface. In Netebans however, this is not the case, it just places the menubar within the window, wasting screen space and making the alienating the application from the rest of the system. The provided URL provides an easy fix for this problem.
