Easier to use Synaptic, search for "mate-themes".
I did the following using GDebi after downloading the package files from the debian.org site.
First, I installed the needed dependencies.
Then, I tried the same with mate-themes but it froze.
Any ideas how to solve this?
Thanks, Michael.
Update: Well, just for laughs, I decided to give it another try. I rebooted the computer and before opening any applications or making any changes to the appearance I installed all the packages again. This time I did it in the order prompted by GDebi when attempting to install mate-themes. And BINGO
Looking good!
