What version of Mint 17 did you install? Cinnamon? Mate?

What part of the desktop do you want?

Unfortunately, the screenshots you posted are not Cinnamon, so you aren't going to get exactly that.

You might be able to find a Cinnamon theme you like - see this tutorial - http://shyloh.com/themes.html
