How do I make mate-panel on Debian Mate look like the one on Linux Mint?

Hi,

I've been using Linux Mint Debian Edition for a few years (with Mate 
instead of Cinnamon) only and exclusively because of the single panel 
layout [1], but Debian Mate comes with a two panel layout [2].

My simple and brutal question is: how do you get a single panel layout 
on stock Debian Mate?

Thanks.
