Re: Unofficial Post Your Linux Mint Desktop Thread
Not yet, and I'm dont have access to my Linux mint 12 computer right now so I can't try it at the moment. How would you edit the mint-z theme to get reflection to work?
Re: Unofficial Post Your Linux Mint Desktop Thread
Well, I don't use mint-z but I think you can do the same I did with Minty.cwwgateway wrote:Not yet, and I'm dont have access to my Linux mint 12 computer right now so I can't try it at the moment. How would you edit the mint-z theme to get reflection to work?
Take a look at this thread.

Ok. Let's do it the easy way.cwwgateway wrote:Not yet, and I'm dont have access to my Linux mint 12 computer right now so I can't try it at the moment. How would you edit the mint-z theme to get reflection to work?
Open a terminal and do a sudo gedit /urs/share/themes/Mint-Z/gnome-shell/gnome-shell.css
Now scroll down to the section "Panel" and look for the value "height" (line 383) and change it from "24px" to "2.3em", save, restart gnome-shell (Alt+F2 r) and that's all!
Now you know the trick, so you can apply it to any shell theme to correct that problem, but you have to try with different "height" values until you find one which works properly.

Re: Unofficial Post Your Linux Mint Desktop Thread
I wondered yesterday if I would update my mint to 12 Lisa. But then, everything works well with Julia, so decided not to update before Mint 13 LTS.
