Do this step by step for the weather “APPLET” (weather “EXTENSION” is done differently): Download the weather applet from "here" to your downloads folder. Open your downloads folder. Unzip (extract) the downloaded file to the desktop. Goto your desktop. Open the “cinnamon-weather” folder y...

@anitquexray, Hmm, that kind of was a how to (in an off the wall kind of way) :) . Lets start at the beginning. (sorry for the oversimplification) Which version of cinnamon are you running? Where did you download the extension from (example: repos)? And what was its full name (example: weather@cinna...

@antiquexray, To get the weather extension working in cinnamon try this thread: Re: Weather applet is a NINJA Keep in mind that this is an extension so the version number should match the version you are using. current is 1.3.0 next will be 1.3.1. You can go ahead and add both now to be ready for th...

I'm not sure why you are having trouble with it but here are a few things to check for: Make sure its called -> weather@cinnamon.org Make sure it is placed in -> /usr/share/cinnamon/extensions/ Make sure this file ->/usr/share/cinnamon/extensions/weather@cinnamon.org/metadata.json has this line->&qu...

OK, I think I found the last error in your theme that is killing the text colors. Again in panel.css, goto line 50 and look for this part and make it look like this: #appMenu { spacing: 4px; /* color: rgba(255,255,255,0.98);*/ /* this is the line causing the problem */ /* padding: 3px 8px 3px 8px;*/...

Is this the type of control you want?


blue is hover
red is inactive
white is active

Your theme wont do it the way its written. There is still something wrong with it. Give me some time I'm going through the code.

I found it. Change line 5 of panel.css to the last number set is the transparency and was set too high causing the theme to crash.

sorry that took so long.

Thats line 11
line 18 is active window

If that doesnt do it, than I would need to see your entire theme file

Here is your original file in my theme un edited: http://i634.removed/albums/uu70/crzen/helpers/Screenshotat2012-01-31174349.png here is what your file looks like in my theme with the changes I told you about: http://i634.removed/albums/uu70/crzen/helpers/Screenshotat2012-01-31172423.png And here is...

I just plugged your windowlist into my theme and it worked fine. lines 11,18,and 26 change the text colors. I dont know how your theme is set up but maybe either some other part is over riding it or if windowlist is a seperate css file like mine is its not being called correctly (edit) let me try a ...

If I understand you correctly you are wanting to change the font color in the windows list (tasklist) button from white to something else? If thats the case try lines 52 and 62, maybe even 70 from the windowslist,css picture you provided. Try changing lines 52 and 62 first. It looks like a bunch of ...

How can i change panel font color quel taskbar,menu and calendar are unselected? I think you mean the panel text color? If so that can be changed in your themes .css file. Depending on how and where the file(s) are written look for the panel section of cinnamon.css (or in panel.css) then for the pa...

gonzo, No problem glad I could help. I just wanted anyone who reads it to know what could happen with an update. I keep copies of the original and the mods. I usually just let the updated happen and go back and fix it after. That way I get all the current fixes and functionality. :D Next I'll go thr...

To swap the panels in classic mode you need to modify 3 files in /usr/share/cinnamon/js/ui. I've been using this for 2 days without issue, but use at your own risk. NOTE this can get undone or broken if an update replaces any of these files. (voids the warranty :D ) This will also be unnecessary whe...

@gonzo01, You can swap the panel positions (I found where and did it) BUT all the popup boxes (including the menu) will open in the wrong directions. You would have to rewrite more than the layout.js file in order to get it to work right. (EDIT) Actually I found the 3 files that need to be edited an...

Im not sure what you are trying to change, but most can be done in cinnamon-settings. For the seconds in the clock,add "%s", maybe this thread will help: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=208&t=92900&p=533420#p533211 For dconf you make the change and then hit enter. With ...

The "date and time settings" feature within the clock isnt fully functional yet. Open cinnamon-settings to change the clock format: http://i634.removed/albums/uu70/crzen/Mint%2012%20cinnamon/Screenshotat2012-01-28041003-1.png The settings shown will give a clock format of: http://i634.remo...

@Chazdg24 I just had mine do it. It reverted back to Saturday. Are you running on a wifi or ethernet. The reason Im asking is that mine reverted because my router freaked out and I had to reset it (I'm on ethernet). Now the extension is working fine again. Its almost like it reverted back (instead o...
