Just wanted to share. My work requires the use of windows...they issued me a Vostro Laptop with an I3. It is a dog, especially once you have connectwise, bomgar, labtech and office docs open.
So I decided to suck it up and use my personal laptop. Mind you it's a powerhouse. But I threw Windows 7 in a VM and it is running better in virtualbox on my Ubuntu-Mate Machine than it did on my laptop.
Here is a pic of me running dual display, windows on one side and Mate the other.. Loving it!
Am I the only one whos Laptop looks bad with BlackMate theme ? 
I actually just switched to Yuyo-Dark.
You can try Numix too
Radiant suits me. I need something brighter in winter.
I love dark themes like BlackMate and I would like Yuyo-Dark had a darker theme . But I really love the themes from Satanic Ubuntu . They are the best for me . Always .
I am really enjoying Yuyo-Dark…nice balance.
Love the pic!. 
Thanks, dude…and yes, Linux ROCKS !! Period. 
Hi Rick,
do you have this in a higher res as it looks “yucky” on my 23 inch monitor?.
I just put a hi-def image up for you here. Scroll down a little and you’ll see it.
Happy GNU Year 2016 !!!
Thanks Rick.
Happy New Year to you too!.
Current link to high resolution of "MATE dumps Windows" image.
Mint-Y Dark isn’t that bad either if you like dark flat themes.
I'm using Arc-Dark on all my machines these days.
sudo apt install arc-theme
