 DeskCalc has three modes: compact, basic and scientific however to find
 and select these options you need to right click. I wasn't aware of these
 options until reading the source code. I suggest the addition of a menu
 bar allowing for better discoverability, however we should leave the right
 click contextual menu inplace for those who prefer to use that.

 I attempted to add a menubar using BGroupLayout however as the custom
 drawing means the resizing of the window breaks. I'm not yet experianced
 enough to convert DeskCalc to use layouts or generic widgets.

 I have attached the attempt I made which shows the menubar.
