Here is top panel left Cinnamon default and bottom panel edited to look like Xfce dock

Going thru the cinnamon.css I am finding the individual panel settings. Here are different lengths of top and bottom panels.

Hello everyone, I just found an amazing post at the Mint Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxmint/comments/1fi2l0z/hows_the_desktop/ The user had shortened and rounded his default cinnamon panels for an Xfce dock-like appearance. I applied his instructions to a virtualbox 21.3 machine on my host M...

You can get nice dock like effects with the regular cinnamon panel.... https://i.imgur.com/5wvZYph.png my panel is set pretty much like that with full transparency and all icons in the center. The problem is it is still a full side to side panel and the unused invisible left and right ends prevent ...

Dash to Dock is a Gnome Shell extension. Cinnamon is not Gnome Shell, you can't use Gnome Shell extensions with it. That would explain a great deal. I double-checked my neofetch and it listed my terminal as "gnome terminal" so I thought Mint was compliant. My bad. Out of curiosity, are ei...

Hello everyone, I got a 14GB macOS Sonoma .iso from the techrechard site, the same group that had the working Monterey.iso and install instructions. I set everything up with the sonoma iso selected and after waiting out the full 0-100% creation of the virtual drive etc I got the following error mess...

Hello Everyone, I set up several Virtual Mint 21.3 | Cinn machines, and I am trying cairo and plank on them. I found a theme for Zorin that makes the plank look amazing. It doesn't seem to install easily to Mint however. On Zorin I just had to click the Install button on the extensions site and it w...

I recently tried Zorin. It's a lovely looking distro, very slick, but I came across quite a few 'glitches' in it. The forum didn't seem as active as Mints either. What finally drove me back to Mint was that Calibre just stopped working in Zorin - it just wouldn't open up. Hopefully you have better ...

Play with VB and other distros all you want. There is a gazillion of options to customize the looks, 3D effects, cairo dock, themes and what not... but just do yourself a favor and do not try to implement any extreme tweaks on your daily driver. I found the DE's can get pretty buggy and give an unl...

I am at oneness with all my brother and sister distros on spaceship earth

I got the dock with rounded corners, black background with transparency and floating above, not attached to, the bottom of screen:

hey all, I saw a post in the conkyporn reddit and a user had a Zorin system with a really nice dock. It was just long enough to accomodate its icons, had a dark background partially transparent, all 4 corners rounded, and most impressively, was not attached to the bottom of the screen but was floati...

Workspace 9 with monitor 3's Urgo conky recolored to a sky blue:

Here is workspace 9 of 10. I like the Urgo conky here as much as I like it on the computer love wallpaper, but I think the red color makes a clash. I am thinking of editing this one to a deep blue. https://i.imgur.com/OADT1hI.jpeg Cursor Theme: Bibata-Original-Amber Applications Theme: Semabe Grey O...

Im going over my workspaces and trying to come up with final versions. I had some new conkys to assign and I have come up with this as workspace 7 of 10: https://i.imgur.com/OUe3Vv9.jpeg Cursor: Lighted-Pixel-Red-vr1 Applications Theme: Semabe Grey Opaque (LED)LR <-- Koentje's edit Icon Theme: Yaru-...

Link of Logansfury: https://www.mediafire.com/file/8tcp995zpw3rjki/red_clock.zip/file I have collected a very thorough amount of conky clocks in various configurations. If you are looking for a conky clock to fit into a GUI in progress chances are I have one that will fit in nicely. Here are some e...

Until a month ago, I had Windows from XP Pro to Windows 11 x64 Pro and I removed it. Besides Linux Mint, I don't need Windows, I only needed it because of Samsung ODIN. Since I get a Samsung upgrade every month, I don't need ODIN right now. I cannot get rid of the win10pro machines in my intranet. ...

https://i.imgur.com/hNGkDAt.jpeg Screw windows 11!!! That piece of dog-crap operating system was disallowing every program I was putting on the tablet from running due to it's own perceived "potential risk". I googled for the tablet version of windows and read its just regular 10 that goe...

WAZOO!!!! The wait is finally over :D https://i.imgur.com/bCFMlEB.jpeg This was very vaguely advertised as windows 10 and I assumed it would be the cheap home version and wondered if eDex would run on it. It turns out the thing came with windows 11 BLEAUGH!!!! >.< I don't have enough appendages to c...

That's a beautiful edit, every component looks like it belongs now to my eye.

Most importantly, does it look like an improvement to you?
