...so you are saying the larger user base will generate more ad revenue 8) Yeah, maybe, with the ads on the main website. But i was also thinking about getting more donations. And perhaps there could be an optional payment suggested to each new user of the system, or for each new system installatio...

Will you refund the Mint developers the advertisement revenue that they miss out on then? No. But I could suggest one or two other sources of income. The first would be to promote Linux Mint as an alternative to planned obsolescence. We could partner with environmental groups and social economy gro...

FreshMint-dark version 3.1.0 codename: "éclipse" Darker, more bluish colors. These blue-green tones provide better contrast and are less stressful on the eyes. Everything is now 100% dark, including the posting pages. Tinted icons to reduce glare and enhance meaning. Nice looking gray but...

I am a webmail client. My webmail provider automatically moves 99% of the junk email into the corresponding folder. So I don't get too many phishing email and desktop notifications...

I made every helpful change I could think of to my email profile, but I've been using the same email for over 20 years without problem. Maybe you only had trustworthy email correspondents for these past 20 years. And you never used your email address for ID on some weak or hacked registration. And ...

Maybe these desktop notifications are issued by your web browser or your email software ? Try to turn off or block all notifications in these two...

(...) "your MacAfee virus protection subscription is about to expire," (...) "the computer's in danger of catching a virus" or "you already have a virus," (...) That's phishing . I usually get that kind of junk through my email. They are just making up some story, in o...

I took a picture of the screen with my cell phone and got an image of 5MB. When I tr to attach it, I get a message saying the file size is too big. What can I do about this? Use Pix to reduce the picture file size. Just type "pix" in your main menu, and you should find it there, already i...

I tried all that but I had no idea what all those parts, like Body BG, Body text, etc. were. (...) I could make a few screenshots, and put numbers on every elements. But that would be a lot of work, and things tend to change from time to time. Another way to proceed is to use the Firefox inspector ...

(...) I tried modifying it to tone down some of the excessive colors but I couldn't make sense of how to do it nor what the various categories even were. (...) I should find some guide or make a quick video later. Once you found your way to this color changing dialog box displayed here, don't be af...

I will try to make some new dark version soon. I will try to make or find some guide on how to change the colors. Or maybe just a quick video. All within 7 days from now. Some time later I could also try a 3rd version: FreshMint-edge. That would be a light version with a darker, flat blueish green ...

That's FreshMint-dark. This dark variant is still in "beta" stage, experimental...

I know that green is "the" Mint colour (& that sebastjava has put in heroic efforts in attempts to use it in a stylish way) but I was a happy bunny the day I discovered and switched to the prosilver version.. I used the green gradient from the official website because I was asked to d...

Menu > Administration > Software Sources.


Click on the different tabs to check your official repositories, PPAs, etc.

(...) I also wish this forum looked more modern :( Linux mint updated its archaic looking website but the forum still looks same. (...) I totally agree with you on that. I tried to change it, but I met resistance and closed doors... :( I don't have time for that anymore. Maybe later. Check my story...

...And it comes with many variants, including dark ones.

Are you looking for a better theme ? Try Materia ! I've just found it in the Software Manager. Just search for "materia gtk". Materia-compact-WF.png It now supports GTK 2, GTK 3, GTK 4, GNOME Shell, Budgie, Cinnamon, MATE, Unity, Xfce, LightDM, GDM, Chrome theme, etc. Please read the recom...

Thank you very much for your work. I have been using the dark style for months and it makes my browsing experience on this "dated look" forum much better. (...) Thank you for your positive comments. It's very appreciated. FreshMint (light) is the main and most refined version. FreshMint-d...

I think that issue is probably caused by your Applications theme (GTK theme). Try another set of selections in Menu > Preferences > Themes ... (Advanced settings...)
