The iso verification tool is not yet implemented in MATE?

Sure am glad they left legacy colors in the themes, most of the new stuff, (color combos) is horrible, to the point of ridiculous even.
Seems screensaver is working on my T450, even in virtual machine, so that is good. I'm having an aweful time with screensaver on Mint 20, with some of my thinkpads.

Nice you have legacy choice.
Not a themer but Material-Black-Lime fits me

I like Mint 20.3 to 21 era Mint-Y more than Mint-Y-legacy or 21.1 era Mint-Y. The lack of Mint-Y-legacy-2 is a little sad. I am still thinking should I keep a copy of the current theme files then re-apply it after upgrade. I sorta want to mix some Mint-Y-legacy elements into it but the work feels tedious and tiring

Each to their own. I quite like the changes. Obviously I don't like every single color combo, that would be weird.

I'm also finding the new cursor theme to be quite useful and nicer than the old one which, to me, seems to have been around forever.
