Top menu bar with options ('File', 'Edit' and 'Object') are missing in XD on windows.

[henryyjjames]

Hi,

I recently became very interested in Adobe Xd and I just discovered this problem. Mine does not have the bar at the top of the page with the File, Edit, Object View, etc.... This is annoying and is very hard to work without. It is also hard to work with tutorials on projects. I noticed this in a youtube video on how to do something. Here is a screenshot from my computer:

Here is a screen capture fro youtube:

I don't know if this has to do with it being in Beta stage or windows vs. mac, but this is highly annoying.

Thanks,

H.

I agree this is terrible. It's just a no brainer function. It's so simple. They wasted more effort in doing a different menu than just doing similar to Apple's. I'm gonna have to try to switch to other programs.

Should be able to Add menu bar as option for those who like using it.

A toolbar would be so much more helpful. I am trying to create an inner shadow through masks. I would create a mask through "object-mask with shape". Without a toolbar this is effectively impossible. Forums posts say all functionality can be found through context menus. Okay.. well that does not help me. I have no option to create a mask, and no way to access it as this is the ONLY adobe software without a toolbar.

Design is communication and benefits from consistency. Id rather that consistency be with adobe programs than Microsoft programs.

Woaaahh. It's nearly the end of 2020 and still no simple toolbar for Windows? This is crazy.

[Meng-Chi5CC4]

I found it depressing, either.

What program is everyone switching to? I've used Adobe for over 20 years (!) and just decided to teach myself xD but given that I'm running windows, the lack of a menu toolbar seems like a waste of time. Just going thru tutorials and I'm already so frustrated. Can't imagine trying to complete a project.

Hi there,

Sorry to hear about the trouble. In the Windows version of XD, we have the hamburger menu from where you can access other options. For more information, please refer to this article: https://community.adobe.com/t5/adobe-xd/xd-top-menu-missing-windows/m-p/10795237#M20334

I would NEVER let MS dectate where UI design is headed!

dictate*  I couldn't find a way to edit my post.  Maybe the more link, but it doesn't show anything.

[amit920114]

But most of the things still not in the hamburger, like option view and others too. So how we(Windows users ) get rid of these problems?

I am calling you out on this comment. Hate speech is not tolarable. By
using such words, you discredit your own opinion. I might add, it's a
crime.

May I suggest you keep your interventions in the "positive criticism "
side. I understand you have free speech. You also have the liberty of being
civil. Say what you have to say by in a way that is acceptable.

XD isn't all that great, but wishing the death of an other person is
exaggerated. Try "I wish you stump your toes". It's proportional and it'll
make us smile.

That doesn't really help, unfortunately. The hamburger menu has a lot of options but it looks like a disturbing number of functions are missing from the Windows hamburger menu. I can't figure out how to do a lot of simple tasks that are quite easy on Mac 😞

These are not even the same products and I don't feel like this should be a live product if this many options are missing.

using XD in Windows. The top bar is missing, so how do I edit objects, masks, and so? It seems XD is made only for MAC users. Right click won´t show any of those options

Frustrated!

[Ares Hovhannesyan]

Win version of Adobe XD do not use top bar you need to click "hamburger icon" on the left top to activate menu. Also right clicking object activate context menu from where you can use commands

[TahiaDesign]

how do I edit objects, create masks from that menu? The hamburger menu is useless for that

[Ares Hovhannesyan]

You need to select object in layers or find command after right clicking and open contextual menu for that object. Also you can use the properties panel.

Thanks 🙂

[JamieWooster]

oh yeah and how to you edit / release a mask once created? LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!dont shill for this crap

Hi Hadas,

Thanks for reaching out. The top menu bar is only available on macOS, on Windows Operating System we have Hamburger Menu on the left-hand side top corner. For more information, you can refer to this similar discussion: https://community.adobe.com/t5/adobe-xd/xd-top-menu-missing-windows/m-p/10795237?page=1#M20334

Hi,
I downloaded the app Adobe XD on my Windows laptop. Now I am running into a problem. When I am working in the app I can't see the menu bar where you can find the option as file, edit, object, etc. Because of this I don't have access to many options while working in Adobe XD. What can I do to fix this?
