Alright, can someone working on LMDE please clear this up once and for all... is the theme Minty-Freshness coming to LMDE or not. The "Theme Brainstorming for LMDE" thread hardly gets updated, and from what I read the author of Minty-Freshness was modifying it to run quicker on LMDE. A version 0.5.5 was released in DEB format, but then any attempt to download a newer version was blocked by password.
Then I heard a rumor that there had been some kind of disagreement and Mint-X Metal was just going to be tweaked for the new spin of LMDE.
I've heard nothing about Minty-Freshness since then, and Orta (by the same author) is too slow for my liking, so could anyone confirm whether or not a finished version of Minty-Freshness is comng?

Re: Minty Freshness???
well, you can still easily find v. 0.6.5 (look in webupd8) and you have mint-x metal, so you're fully upto date with SkiesofAzel work
Re: Minty Freshness???
Ah, it's good to know it's still being updated, thanks. I have a problem though: this will be the first time I use webupd8 to obtain anything, and after folling the instructions here is what I get:
My tech knowledge doesn't extend to this, any idea what I can do?
Code: Select all
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/themes && sudo apt-get update
[sudo] password for craig:

Re: Minty Freshness???
is not been updated, was and yesterday i rechecked it, the v. available is 0.8.5 (and i believe it will be the last one)
as for the error you get, normal, debian is not ubuntu, add-apt is a ubuntu feature, doesn't work in debian, you have to add the repo manually to your sources.list with a text editor as root

Re: Minty Freshness???
When I said it had been update I meant from the 0.5.5 version. A lot more programs are now supported by the theme.zerozero wrote:is not been updated, was and yesterday i rechecked it, the v. available is 0.8.5 (and i believe it will be the last one)
Thanks for the information. Since I'm a lazy sod I added some add-apt support to LMDE by going here.zerozero wrote:as for the error you get, normal, debian is not ubuntu, add-apt is a ubuntu feature, doesn't work in debian, you have to add the repo manually to your sources.list with a text editor as root
