It would be great if Mate could be updated to the latest version! I am running it both on desktops and on a HiDPI laptop. On the latter, most things are sized incorrectly and I have not found a way to change things. If Mate is updated, I plan to install it on additional machines. Your effort would be most welcomed! _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
