Godot Version

Godot Stable 4.6.2

Question

Looking to create window bars such as the following in my game, both at the top of the window and at the bottom.

Currently, I am using the MenuBar class with its normal PopupMenu functionality, I don’t find it to my liking. In the example picture currently View, Undo, and Rules trigger dropdown menus with a single option. Instead, I would prefer them to simply be buttons that trigger their current first item’s functionality.

Along with this, I want to add a bar at the bottom of the window that displays the player profile name, game name, and score. None of these would be interactable, of course.

Should I be using a different class besides MenuBar? If so, what would be the class to use?

Thank you for reading/responding!

Just add a script in _process() of the popupmenu node that has no items. Make sure you define left_click or whatever in the projects input map.

As far as adding bars at bottom you may want to look into control nodes panels and containers. Google “how to add a panel to the bottom of a viewport in godot”

extends PopupMenu

# Called every frame. 'delta' is the elapsed time since the previous frame.
func _process(delta):
	if Input.is_action_just_pressed("left_click"):
			print("Global left click detected!")
	pass
