How can I remove the four items on screen? Applications, Places home trash
Mate allows me to remove those things using dconf-editor. I have check boxes for computer-icon-visible, home-icon-visible, network-icon-visible, trash-icon visible and volumes-visible under org-mate-caja-desktop.
The same set of checkboxes are also available under gnome-nautilus-desktop.
Check out gnome-tweak-tool . It allows you to change a lot of 'hidden' options in GNOME.
This is what I do in Gnome or Gnome Classic ... press the Super key (the Windows button on your key board) and search for tweak ... the tweak-tool will show up and then you can make many selections of what to show on the desktop, etc.
I do not think that will work with Mate though, only gnome3 and gnome3-classic desktops.
The gnome 3 desktop is really not that bad once you get used to it ... I really like the super key, auto workspaces, and the ability to have the 2nd monitor either move with the workspace or stay on the main workspace, etc.
