Get A Global Menu In MATE 1.8 With TopMenu (PPA For Ubuntu And Linux Mint): webupd8.org/2014/12/get-global-menu-in-mate-18-with-topmenu.html One of the most requested MATE features is the addition of a global menu applet. However, such an applet (called TopMenu) already exists, though its not available in any PPA and that prevents many Ubuntu / Linux Mint users from installing it. To make it easier to install, Ive packed TopMenu in a PPA for Ubuntu 14.04 (requires using Ubuntu MATE or upgrading to MATE 1.8 via PPA) and 14.10 as well as Linux Mint 17 and 17.1 (MATE edition, obviously). TopMenu is compatible with MATE 1.8 (a MATE 1.8 panel applet is shipped) and it fully supports GTK2. According to its Wiki page, GTK3 is partially supported (I didnt encounter any functionality issues in my test) and there are additional plugins for Qt4 and Mozilla apps (Firefox and Thunderbird). I should also mention that unlike Unitys AppMenu, TopMenu doesnt autohide and its always visible when an application is focused.
