Greetings Mint'ers,
After seeing screenshots of a distro called "Salix" (never heard of it), I am wondering if it were possible to make Linux Mint "Mate" look like Gnome 2.
I see from those screenshots of "Salix" that the Mate version looks like Gnome 2. I am not even considering getting rid of Mint (it works as perfect as "Pre-Gnome 3 Ubuntu" did), but I was just wondering if it is possible (probably not, since I've never seen any talks about this).
Making Mate look like Gnome 2?

MATE is a fork of GNOME2, so yes, the default appearance of MATE would appear to look, and function like GNOME2.

Something like the old Lynx menus?
Here's what hacked out (top right corner only).
The overall desktop is essentially a dead ringer for the old Lynx look and feel.
I did this by getting the mate desktop directly from [url]http://mate-desktop.org/[/url] and installing it on a Debian-Wheezy distro.
