On the request of our member wei2912 I put all the Cinnamon themes in this post. We have following Cinnamon(>=1.2) themes:

Eleganse, dark-glass and ElementaryOS

Minty - One of our favorite

Wood 'n' Tux

Trans-Blues

AnTaRtIkA

Space Odyssey Gnome-Shell + Cinnamon

Frost

Frosty_mint theme

aero theme pack

cinnamon-glass

I've tried a few themes but most have a transparent menu. I can't understand why anyone would go out of their way to make it hard to read the text of a menu but obviosly people like it that way. I like the Eleganse theme and would appreciate it if someone could tell me how to tweak it to make it more opaque.

yes...minty is VERY NICE and very "in-character" with mint
would love to see Clem include it (and Eleganse) in the cinnamon session package along with any other really cool cinnamon themes that will soon come along...

[wei2912]

Well, we have two new Cinnamon themes:

Minty - Our favorite (thank satya164 for this theme) http://browse.deviantart.com/customization/skins/linuxutil/#/d4ljuj5

Trans-Blues - a very strange theme http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Trans-Blues+Gnome+Shell+%2B+Cinnamon+Theme?content=148013

A few more old ones:

Elegance, Dark Glass and ElementaryOS themes (in one package) - http://gnome-look.org/content/download.php?content=147807&id=1&tan=92308335

New Elements - http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/New+Elements?content=148029

Wood 'n' Tux - http://browse.deviantart.com/customization/skins/?q=cinnamon#/d4hu8xh

I'll be adding more, and if i can, try to port some themes.

I too love Linux Mint & cinnamon and appreciate all that Clem and his team are doing for us. However, like another user above, I would like to make the menu opaque and more readable. I'd appreciate any help in doing that. Thanks.

I agree, an opaque menu is essential.

It takes under a minute to make the menu opaque yourself.

A little bit bigger font on the panel and tool tips:

Code: Select all

#panel {
    color: #ffffff;
    background-color: #555555;   
    font-size: 11pt;
    font-weight: normal;
    height: [color=26px;

Code: Select all

StTooltip StLabel {
    border: 1px solid rgba(212,185,67,1.0);
    border-radius: 4px;
    padding: 2px 12px;
    background-gradient-end: rgba(251,234,159,0.9);
    background-gradient-start: rgba(254,245,198,0.9);
    background-gradient-direction: vertical;
    color: #000000;
    font-size: 10pt;
    font-weight: normal;   
    text-align: center;

How would you make the icons bigger on the tool bar / panel ?

Thanks for the transparency tip bimsebasse.
I have another request for anyone who might be able to change the high contrast inverse theme from a blue background to black. I have some vision problems and I'm thinking that might be pretty good for me.

[wilms]

I answered my own question about the HighContrastInverse theme (pretty much) by changing the following:
/usr/share/themes/HighContrastInverse/gtk-3.0/gtk.css
background-color: #000;
border-color: #fff;
color: #fff;
/usr/share/themes/HighContrastInverse/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
fg[NORMAL] = "#ffffff"
text[NORMAL] = "#ffffff"
bg[NORMAL] = "#000000"
base[NORMAL] = "#000000"

[bimsebasse]

Weird, I did that and it was still blue (except Gimp and browsers), anyway, glad it worked for you

Here's a new theme for Cinnamon - AnTaRtIkA (gnomeshell and cinnamon theme) on deviantart

[swftech]

Very nice, refreshing looking theme!

Newer Cinnamon themes:

Hope this post isn't out of place, for all cinnamon themes where the menu is 'broken' by the new cinnamon (1.2.0), here is a quick fix.

In the cinnamon.css file:

First locate .menu section (should have in a comment above reading menu.js)

Change upto (but not including) #searchEntry

Where the identifier includes -menu but is preceeded by something else remove it i.e
.applications-menu-favorites-box -> .menu-favorites-box

Where the identifier does not include -menu add it i.e
.places-box -> .menu-places-box

If editing the theme in /usr/share/themes you need to edit the css file as root

if in home/user/.themes don't need to, as always back up the file in case of problems.

It seems to work, but I am not an expert, so please do not take this quick fix as gospel.

[dalcde]

Works for me. Thanks!

Edit - except for the search part. You have to change every instance of

Code: Select all

#searchEntry

to

Code: Select all

#menu-search-entry

and

Code: Select all

#search_box

to

Code: Select all

#menu-search-box

.

Oops, thanks, haven't used the search (so far) so didn't fix it, but thanks for your help!!!
