Thanks! Welcome to Ubuntu Mate Community!
I agree, Numix theme and icons are beautiful! If you are interested, of course I can provide the Gotham Conky file. I simply added battery status, changed colors and fonts from original Gotham conky file. :smiley:

That will be nice, but I am new in Linux, can you get me the simple gotham, like this.

Did you installed already Conky from ubuntu software center? I assume, Gotham is part of the included conky files. :relaxed:

Yes, but I install from noobslab.com not from Ubuntu software center, beceause it is not there.

Do you mean Conky manager, right?? :confused:

Sorry, you're right. It's a little long time ago, since I installed conky-manager. I think, you should install both. conky + conky-manager. You can config the conkys without the manager, but if you are new on linux, it's much easier with the conky-manager. :smile:

An other solution is to search and find conkys on deviantart.com, gotham is here:

To find the .conky file, you go to your .home folder and press Ctrl + H to make visible your hidden files. There you should find your .conky folder with the files. Further, if you would install other conkys, you have to extract the zip files into your .conky folder.

tweaks include:
-- ambiance-blackout theme - i've always been drawn to the dark side (but not too dark!)
-- vibrancy color icons
-- solarized-dark terminal theme (i use gnome-terminal rather than mate-terminal)
-- monaco font in terminal
-- wallpaper pinched from dwmx, a very arty debian-based distro
-- i normally have my big bottom panel set to autohide - never got into top panels
-- for some reason, my dropbox icon has gone from panel, but I'm not too bothered, it still works ok
-- actually have a dual-monitor setup, but only included one monitor here

Very nice, simple and elegant!

Here's my current desktop, so far I'm loving it.
I'm using the Numix theme and Numix Circle icons for the dock bar.
The wallpaper is inspired from a theme I found on Conky Manager and can be found here:

The only modifications I made was to move the time and date to the centre of the panel at the top.
In all, I love the over all look and am really enjoying this Distro!

Here's mine. Ubuntu-MATE 15.04 using the Ambiant-MATE theme with custom Panel background, Zorin-OS Icon theme with a little menu icon I played around with. , it's called start-here.png. Used the instructions here http://askubuntu.com/questions/236533/how-to-change-the-menu-icon-of-mate-desktop-menu-applet to change it.

And replaced plank with Cairo-Dock mainly because I COULD! :smiley:

Wallpaper is a screenshot I took from the victory lane celebration of Dale Jr winning the Coke Zero 400 race at Daytona. :wink:
