Linux Mint Forums

I think that issue is probably caused by your Applications theme (GTK theme). Try another set of selections in Menu > Preferences > Themes ... (Advanced settings...) Themes.png Also, I'd suggest you go to Menu > Preferences > Font Selection and choose a bold font for your desktop font. Desktop file ...

Enlighten me, i could be terribly wrong of course :lol: Sorry, I don't have much time to think about this, at the moment. Honestly, that's the first, foremost, annoyance there, with this bug. I'd have to think about it and always feel unsure about forgetting something or not... The first thing that...

Save yourself from the headaches and just backup your data first, then reinstall mint and pick the encrypted home option presented during the setup process. Then you can copy your data back. I would avoid the encrypted home option, and go for a full disk encryption instead, as the OP was asking for...

Or this?

IMHO, if you want the forum rules to be noticeable, to stand out, then you need a strong, saturated color. Some red or pink red. Ex.: #E61B4E . It could be red on white, or white on red, or else, black on white with a thick pink red border: Rules-colors-and-borders.png But this takes 5px + 5px = 10p...

I personally think having the color only change in the corners is easier on the eyes instead of splitting the page in half with the left half being green and the right half being blue. As already explained, this is some sort of compromise I tried. We are only talking about the page header and forum...

Good to know. Thanks for the follow up. I didn't want to look stupid, I was already dealing with a mess somewhere else in these forums, but, believe it or not, this is exactly what I was thinking. FWIW, I ended up installing Ubuntu 22.04 and the screen still does not turn off properly. I'm thinking ...

I want to try to answer each of your points, but first I try to find a more general philosophical explanation. Why is it so difficult? I listen to all the comments and understand much of it. So the last positive comment makes me see things positively, while the last negative comment makes me see thi...

I have some doubt about the rules background color. This "red pink" background color, here on version 2.5.0. You want it to stand out. It should be quite "vibrant". It can't be gray. It can't be green either, because it must be of a different color. A boldly different one. But t...

version 2.5.0 changelog: FreshMint.user.css: button colors (+gradients) page-header height = 150 px (±1 px) rules BG color: #E61B4E "unread" icons color: #69B53F etc. The two first images on OP (top) will always show the latest screenshots. The gradient color on the page header is similar...

You have too many arguments. I am overwhelmed. I am sorry, I can't answer them all. I did read them all. I can agree, to some extent, to some of them. There is a new FreshMint version coming up. My "to do" list: icon colors: #69B53F rules BG: #0B6BCB ? or #E61B4E ? buttons corners and colo...

I personally look for functionality first. Color schemes are secondary to being able to easily read text and view controls. I don't try to make things functional OR nice looking. I make them both nice AND functional. Colors are chosen for their significance, eye comfort, harmony, color contrasts, e...

Looking again and comparing sebastjava's suggestion with the current forum, I think that these 3 items are the ones that I feel are improvements (...) Please don't forget the page header, on top of every page. I don't know if you agree but that makes a big difference to me. I don't like that curren...

(...) Power Management turns off the screen and locks it as expected. (...) Ah, okay, I learned something. Both the power management and the screensaver can lock the screen. Tested and confirmed. You tried my special CLI, I tried both your GUI settings and your special CLI. Whatever you do, you alw...

Or this ?


This could work ? It stands out, but it is not so out of the color range... That blue is the same as the current codebox border.

What is the point of de-emphasizing the forum rules making them harder to notice and less likely to be read? I had some trouble with the style for these forum rules. I already had made an exception for the quotes and codes, using a light touch of blue colors for those, because otherwise there was t...

Ah, it looks like that is a hard coded in phpBB (...) I wouldn't call it "hardcoded", since it's CSS. CSS is meant to be overridden. It’s in their very nature, it’s written in their name: "Cascaded Styles Sheets". This means the last definition replaces the previous one, and so ...
