I know not everyone is on 2.8, but is there a way to get the new 2.8 UI menus in the title bar of my theme? Has anyone accomplished this or is there a plan to make a 2.8 default theme?

We'll be providing more details just after the new version is released.
We're also planning on creating a standard set of themes - eg. all of the standard themes that come with Confluence, but done using Theme Builder so you can edit them. We've actually been planning to do this for a long time - Theme Builder 3.2.0 allows us to do it with the new UI stuff.

{menubar:id=usr} {webui-list:location=system.user} {menubar}But no dice - i assume it's a case of differing structure/classes from the dynarch system...

The menubar/menu/submenu/etc macros expect to recieve a list of <li> entries without a <ul> or <ol> wrapping them, the wikimenu macro srtips off the outer <ul> and returns the contents, which allows the menubar macro to wrap the list items in it's own <ul> and dump them out in the correct format for the js to pick them up and use them.
We chose not to do this automatically since doing so would mean each menuitem performing a regex that would only be needed in a the minority of cases .. hence the wikimenu macro.
Basicalli .. if it generates a list that can be displayed on the screen then it is likely to need a wikimenu macro wrapping it (eg the children macro)

I'd recommend just using the (webui-list) macro - look at the output and you can pick a location on it to use as a starting point... it's what I did.

So you should find copies of webui-list in various forms all the way back to 3.1.x ... not that they are much use without the location parameter, also the web content manager in pre 2.8 is so broken as to make webui-list useless on those platforms anyway!
As Carl says, your best bet is to dump a {webui-list} macro onto your page, take a look at the html it generates and pull the location from the classnames added to the list items, you can then use the location= parameter to just dump out that one location.
There is also an icon=true/false flag with will use the icons that have been defined for the webui link (if one has been defined) as the icon in the menu.

Any updates? A new plugin I'm looking at adds items to the "Tools" menu, but since I don't have a Tools menu, it's sort of useless for me.

put with whatever works for you after the location. e.g. system.user has the contents of the atlassian system user menu after it.
i haven't checked, but you might need

What I was looking for is something that would embed the Add and Tools menus from the Confluence 2.8 title bar (example here).
The problem with using the webui generated menus is that I got link text like
and the text I expected wasSubtle differences, I know, but the generated text isn't user friendly and seems unprofessional to me. Having "Link" in the link text is a little redundant.
So, here's what I came up with. It's not exactly what I wanted, but it gets the job done.
{menubar:id=titleBar} {menu}{menuicon:add2}Add {compound-menuitem:newcomment|icon=message_add|caption=Comment} {compound-menuitem:pageattachments|icon=export1|caption=Attachment} {menuseparator} {compound-menuitem:newpage|icon=document_add|caption=Page} {compound-menuitem:newnews|icon=news_add|caption=News} {compound-menuitem:webui|location=system.content.add/space|key=addbookmark|icon=bookmark_add|caption=Bookmark} {menu} {menu}{menuicon:gear}Tools {compound-menuitem:pageattachments|icon=document_attachment|caption=Attachments (%count%)} {compound-menuitem:webui|location=system.content.action/primary|key=view-history|icon=history2|caption=History} {menuseparator} {compound-menuitem:favourite|caption=Favorite} {compound-menuitem:watch|caption=%watch%} {menuseparator} {compound-menuitem:information|icon=document_info|caption=Page Info} {compound-menuitem:webui|location=system.content.action/secondary|key=view-source|icon=document_text|caption=View Wiki Markup} {compound-menuitem:exportPDF|icon=pdf|caption=Export to PDF} {compound-menuitem:exportWord|icon=word|caption=Export to Word} {menuseparator} {compound-menuitem:webui|location=system.content.action|key=modify_copy|icon=information2|caption=Copy} {menu} {menubar}I need to play around with the CSS to get it looking the way I want, but at least this is a start.

The description was used since it seems to be populated with uasble namings more often than the title.

anyone who knows what the key is for the Zip upload (plugin) menuitem?
I tried
{compound-menuitem:webui|location=system.content.action/primary|key=batch-upload|caption=Zip upload}with a number of alternatives (ZipUpload, Zip upload, etc), without success so far.
Same for the watch page family plugin - which I cannot find in the {webui-list}...
Thanks in advance,
Herman.

I haven't found a good way to determine those keys other than looking at the generated html for a page containing the link you want. I happened to know that one because I have a link on my toolbar as well.

Another is to use the Menulink Aliases Tab which allows you to select the links by plugin name & link title, this is probably going to be your best path going forward since it allows you to use named references to the functionality and adjust the target as/when atlassian update the location & key of the webui item.
