Moar eyecandy for Linux Mint needed !!

[marX]

Hi !

I 'm using Mint 16 Cinnamon flavour but I think the Windows and other stuff like task bars etc are all gray and boring. I have the Suse Linux on my other drive which has an awesome GNOME and KDE environment.
So, is there any way to "jazz it up" without downloading too much stuff ?
Also, what happened to GNOME ?
The reason for there is that the current PC I'm using would become the centerpiece of our home entertainment system and I would like to have an good looking Distro.
May be I have to install Windows 8.1 ?

Apart from that, Mint is the best. Everything works, especailly the tethering support for mobilephones. Its just plug and play for me !
Great work guys

Nice theme !
Thanks man

But is there any "transformation pack", may be for Windows 8.1 or the OSX ?

Yeah, I'm browsing the themes now but they are not "powerful". I mean they don't change the icon layouts and lauchers etc...or may be I expect too much ?

In the Theme tab of Control center you have an 'other' tab where you can change the icon theme.
You can found some on the net and install them too: http://numixproject.org/

Why would someone destroy the beauty of Cinnamon with these themes?

You are right but...I love the simplicity and beauty of Windows 8.1 and the speed of Linux

Windows 8.1 is far from simple. It's a giant mess...
Beauty is very subjective. For my part, I think Windows 8.1 is very far from beauty.

You can find an other icon theme here: Nitrux

Or you could add "Cairo Dock" as an alternative desktop to boot into if you like the OSx look.
