Exelente, por el momento veo que hay dificultades en cuanto a los THEMES de Mate, debría haber una web tipo GNOME-LOOK para que así los usuarios queden más contentos.

As a long time Windows XP/7 user, I think this looks great. I’ll be setting up a VM to try this on, hopefully it’ll be as great as it looks!

Antes que nada, una agradecimiento por darle un soplo de vida a nuestro amado gnome 2.x. Habemos muchos usuarios que no estamos muy seguros de los pasos que ha tomado gnome 3. Tal vez nos podran llamar anticuados, pero la verdad es que proyectos como MATE hacen que el free software y el opensource siga siendo lo mejor del mundo.

I do not understand why is the need to reinvent the wheel.

KDE works well for Traditional Desktop Enviorment . just change to desktop view.

And there are trillion Picture viewrs , Editors , Terminal emulators out there , why is the need to re-ivent the wheel , can you explain?

  v3ss,
  Please note that there is more than one type of wheel in use in the world. New ones are being invented all the time. Sorry if they all look the same to you.

      Absolutely!! I imagine the original poster is a KDE fan-boi – well, ‘to me’, KDE looks like something that kids would be using in kindergarten or first grade. Always has, always will. And I imagine a fair number of people happen to prefer the “classic” style (withOUT having to change anything to get it), otherwise we’d never be on this page now would we?

        So i will rephrase the question.
        
        KDE is a Desktop Environment + A LOT OF APPLICATIONS + some other stuff.
        
        When you use KDE on windows, you use just the applications, of course.
        
        When i use KDE on MATE Desktop Environment, i use just the applications (KDE ones, programmed with kdelibs).
        
        For instance, what is the MATE music player ? I guess it is … Amarok ? Clementine ? Juk ? You see, all kde (Qt) applications.
        
        So, why to reinvent a whell ? I know the answer, of course, because MATE is a DE, so it will have a window manager + a bunch of applications.
        
        I do not like the PLASMA Desktop too much. Really, i think it is buggy, and i use ALWAYS. If Mate can give me an environment for my KDE applications, that are FAR SUPERIOR from the GNOME equivalents, for example, then thats OK for me, i will use for sure. I just dont know the reason to implement ANOTHER simple text editor.

      I don’t think the classic gnome 2 altepps (bonobo, corba based) are easy for an KDE 3 software to use. But if you don’t fear mocking around there’s a dbus branch of the central library (panel applet something) in the gnome git (gnome-panel module) that seems to be targeted at gnome 3 but should work with gnome 2.x with minimal fixing. And then it shouldn’t be too hard to write a dbus + socket based wrapper for kde

Really perfect. We should create “The Desktop they MATE”

I suppose it would be a good idea to “professional” mate. I mean for example more details in caja, or more details by copy files (e.g. on windows8).
So that mate goes from “gnome2 user” to “gnome professional user”…

Keep up the good work , but please fix the MEDIA PLAYER keys in the applications (RhythmBox and Banshee are broken… the media keys do nothing, but I can use the volume control in all the applications. dbus shows the keys are pressed… )

  Do you have some kind of magic ball? Otherwise how dare you underwrite others knowledge – despite them being strangers to you.
  
  I spent several months with Gnome3 and Unity, both dissapointed me badly. This is not about trends, it’s about personal likings and freedom.
