Dantes Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 (edited) Now I'm no expert but I got Mate working maybe there are some shortcuts I did not take, but it works great.

Dantes Posted November 19, 2023 Author Share Posted November 19, 2023 (edited) It seems a lot of mate-panel layouts do not work and are not visible in mate-tweak. First I downloaded an old ubuntu-mate 18.04 from archive.org. Then I copied the old layouts from the ISO into /usr/share/mate-panel/layouts And they work just fine on Debian Bookworm (go figure ) If you find Debian Mate too stale for your taste, unpack the .tgz below into the root / tar -zxvf mate-panel-layouts.tgz -C / Then run mate-tweak and select one of the layouts. I must say that except for the older kernel, this could almost be a daily driver. mate-panel-layouts.tgz Edited November 19, 2023 by Dantes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
