Setup MATE desktop

1. Install gedit on gnome from Activities

2. Install MATE

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/mate-1.22 && sudo apt update && sudo apt install mate-desktop-environment
    sudo apt update
    sudo apt install mate-desktop-environment
   

   (Quite slow - lot to do)

3. Logout (or restart first time!)

4. Choose MATE from the login screen

5. Select BlueMenta theme

6. On the top panel, right click and choose Add to panel. Remove the Mate menu and add:

    * Menu bar
    * Clock
    * Shut down
    * Volume control
   

7. Set background

8. If open in terminal is missing from Caja:

<button class=”copy-code-button” aria-label=”Copy code block to your clipboard” data-code=”sudo apt-get install caja-open-terminal”

</button>

sudo apt-get install caja-open-terminal

(Log out if necessary to install)

1. If MATE Tweak is missing from Control Centre

   sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mate-dev/trusty-mate ; sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install mate-tweak
   sudo apt-get update

   Use this to remove Home folder from desktop.
