How to delete items from "The main MATE menu"?

[Grossman]

Hello,
could anybody tell me how I can delete the market items (Places, System, Lock Screen) from the main menu?



I didn't find any way in the "Main Menu" settings.

Thanks

Unless anyone knows a easy way a quick search on Google shows a Mate menu editor called mozo?

Are they the items in /usr/share/applications?

I am not sure I catch You advice right, but the Mozo is in the picture - I know about it.
I removed all other items with Mozo, but I didn't realize how to remove the last three items from menu with this editor.

It would be best to ask Mozo in the above link on how to remove the main tree menu's as i have never used it before , as i say i just found it at google.

You're the first person i've ever come across that has asked to strip down Mate menu as most people wanting something sparse use OpenBox or Gnome shell.

This may not be what you want, but you can remove the "Places" and "System" from the "custom menu" (that has 3 menus), so that you are left with just the "Applications" of the custom menu, which does not have the "Places", "System" and "Lock Screen" that you do not want.

From a terminal run:

Code: Select all

gsettings set org.mate.panel.menubar show-places false
gsettings set org.mate.panel.menubar show-desktop false

Save .config/dconf/user in your home directory, in whatever your persistence mechanism is, for this to survive a reboot.

Although, I have to say, the menu then looks a lot like the LXDE menu .
For logout and/or shutdown, you would have to use the seperate logout and/or shutdown applets provided by the panel, I guess...

Ignore this if this is not what you want.
