Inconsistent UI settings Mint 13 Mate
Posted: Sun Jul 22, 2012 6:21 pm
I'm facing a somewhat weird issue on my Mint 13 Mate installation. I use the mate login shell. I've installed compiz and gnome-tweak-tool to play with the UI customizations. But now my UI is sort of inconsistent when it comes to theming settings like icon theme, window theme, etc ( see transmission.png). I'm unable to express precisely what kind of minor issues I'm facing but they are a bit irritating hence I'm attaching some screenshots.
Also, I really hate my current titlebar buttons. I tried to change them in gnome-tweak-tool and in the appearance settings but it doesnt change, its kind of stuck.
The things I write in the terminal are kind of crammed up and its hard to read some words i type there. (see terminal.png)
Another thing bugging me is that the brightness, saturation shortcuts I've set up in compiz work, but the changes i using with them are not preserved, not even within a single login session. I mean for instance when i use these shortcuts in nautilus and then open a new nautlius window after some time the brightness/saturation is reset to what it was before i used the shortcuts last time. And this happens with every window i open, be it firefox, compiz or whichever.
So please help me get this stuff sorted.
