It also themes the Mate Panel into essentially “two panels” in much the same way as Chrome OS does. The theme isn’t perfect, and there are some issues here and there. If you’re looking to transform your boring Mate desktop into something closely resembling Google’s Chrome OS, this is the way to do it!
This is a collection of premium skins for the MATE Panel and MATE Menu. It can be used in desktop environments other than MATE, but the most compatible panel layout is the traditional style of two 24px height panels on the top and bottom; alternatively there are 40px height panel images for the single panel layout.

UPDATE 10-25-2015: MATE 1.11.0 has merged support for custom theme using considerably more streamlined code. A new version of the theme has been uploaded to support it as the code has changed:https://archive.org/download/CustomThemeSupportPatchesForMate-panelMate-applets1.10.0/gtk-theme-ubuntustudio-legacy-0.8_all.debThis version supports any gtk3 build of MATE 1.11.0 from git master and gtk3.18. Prebuilt binaries available at:https://archive.org/details/DebianPackagesForMate-desktopWityGtk3AndCustomPanelThemeThe newer version of the theme and of the packages must be used together. Versions on this post are now obsolete but still work if all parts are used together and with the original version of the theme.. Do not mix and match.The mate-desktop has reached version 1.10.0 http://pub.mate-desktop.org/releases/1.10/ and supports builds with gtk3. Caja has a serious bug in renaming files(FIXED in later 1.10 and 1.11 releases) , a set of patches based on the Nemo versions of the three problematic files plus a statusbar height fix are included here. This was an essential part of getting a usable MATE desktop build with GTK3 at first. The mate-panel and mate-applets patches can be applied to source files in mate-panel and mate-applets versions 1.10.0 to support any custom panel theme, such as the one uploaded here, a revision to the one uploaded at https://archive.org/details/MenusAndConky screenshots available there for my 'ubuntustudio-legacy' theme modded with a blue-green selected item color and the transparent black panel menu theme. The panel.css file from this can be used as a guide to writing any other custom 'shell theme' for mate-panel and its applets. Alternately this build will follow the main gtk3 theme if no custom panel/panel widget/panel applet theming is used. Also included is the patch for network-manager-applet, version 1.0.2 , which makes the wifi connection menu. Tray applets set their own themes in MATE. UPDATE June 25, 2015: the newly uploaded .deb (Debian) file contains a version built for gtk3.16 and with proper help support added from another experimental branch of mate-panel. These are the sources for the original files:https://github.com/yetist/mate-panel/tree/gtk-3.16 ~ANDhttps://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-panel/tree/user-guide-experimentalAll modified source files are included in /usr/src, those needing only patches for help support are in dedicated directories within, others contain my patches to enable use of transparency in menus and the calendar in themes.A note on using this with compiz: right now, Ubuntu's compiz does not support transparency with gtk3.16 but works fine with gtk3.14. The add-gtk-frame-extents-to-net-supported bzr branch fixes this, Ub8ntu will no doubt soon be doing something similar as they just added gtk3.16 to Wily. Marco, Metacity, and Mutter/gnome shell all work fine with transparency in gtk3.16 right now, as long as Marco is built with gtk3.16 and metacity 3.16 or later installed. Comments are closed.
