Re: Check out Cinnamoned MATE!
You can also install mate-themes from the offical repository
mate-themes
Official themes for the MATE desktop
This package contains the official desktop themes of the MATE desktop
environment.
The themes provided for the MATE desktop partially resemble themes that
are well known from GNOMEv2 desktops. However, the MATE team also prepared
some new themes esp. for MATE (Menta, GreenLaguna, TraditionalGreen,
TraditionalOk, and BlackMate)..

Re: Check out Cinnamoned MATE!
Alright, for anybody who wants to know how to do this, here are the steps :
1. install "mate-dock-applet" using this command on the terminal :
2. unlock the Window List Applet (right click the handle then uncheck lock to panel) and remove the applet, then add in the new dock applet, now do the following :
change to subway, for a more cinnamon like look, and change to solid fill
lock the dock applet
3. install compiz (idk if in latest 20.3) :
enable some animations using the graphical config manager, then add this to startup :
4. right click the mint menu and go to preferences, then tick everything out except for menu icon, now click on the linux mint logo icon and change it to something like the cinnamon one.
5. resize the panel to something bigger, now boom! you have my setup!
EDIT : DOOM Running on it! :
1. install "mate-dock-applet" using this command on the terminal :
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install mate-dock-applet
change to subway, for a more cinnamon like look, and change to solid fill
lock the dock applet
3. install compiz (idk if in latest 20.3) :
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install compiz
Code: Select all
compiz --replace
5. resize the panel to something bigger, now boom! you have my setup!

Nice, but beware of Compiz. It's digital garbage: unstable and unreliable since its inception....

Re: Check out Cinnamoned MATE!
there is no windows icon, that is the application launcher
the one he has is the old mint logo from a few years back. it matches the forum's which has not been updated yet unlike the main website
I’ll tell you a DNS joke but be advised, it could take up to 24 hours for everyone to get it.
Re: Check out Cinnamoned MATE!
I fail to see the point of that dock, I mean it "looks" just like you added some launchers to the existing panel ?Frost-Again wrote: ⤴Fri Mar 25, 2022 8:30 am
1. install "mate-dock-applet" using this command on the terminal :
Unnecessary as Compiz IS installed by default in MATE.3. install compiz (idk if in latest 20.3) :
Also unnecessary as that can be done with one click in the Desktop Setting app, as show in my screenshot.then add this to startup : compiz --replace
That is weird, I've never seen that before, and I have taken a lot of screenshots.also sorry for the screenshot app being open, some weird bug
