Hello... I'm not sure what Linux calls it but any program or browser or whatever this area in the pic is too tiny for my liken, any way to enlarge it? Thanks

[LanceM]

Need more information. Please put this command in the terminal and post the results.

Code: Select all

inxi -Fxz

I'm guessing you are using Cinnamon 19.x. I fixed mine to look like this:

I think you are on Cinnamon from your posting history? Assuming yes you can get some alternative window borders themes including "big buttoned" versions of the stock Mint window borders - viewtopic.php?f=208&t=272414

To up the font size for the Titlebar - Menu > Preferences > Font Selection > Amend Window Title Font Size.

[Sonofman]

Thank you. And sorry I am using Cinnamon 19.2. ... Right now under the window's border I have 15 to choose from can I have more? thanks

[LanceM]

You can make that bigger by increasing font size on the titlebar. System Settings>Font Selection>Window Title Font>Change the default 10 to desired size, I use 12

[Sonofman]

Thanks, I did that but it would be nice if I could put more different styles then the ones that are listed. I like how under Windows are big enough and spaced apart enough

[LanceM]

Can you follow surphos directions in the link he gave? If you decide to do that, we can help you to get it configured.

You can get some more via themes downloaded via the Themes settings module download tab

These ones all include window borders

1) The Adapta Variants
2) Cinnamox variants
3) Ambiance-Crunchy
4) CBlack
5) Chrome OS
6) iOS-X
7) Jade1
8) Pragmatic Darker Blue
9) Windows 10

There are a few themes in Software manager with Cinnamon compatible window-borders - see this list for package names to consider installing...

Otherwise go hunting through - https://www.pling.com/browse/cat/125/order/latest/

Hi... I believe I did do what he mentioned. I ran those 3 lines into the Terminal and I believe it is why I have those 15 to choose from. When I ran that last line with the zip file I didn't see the Terminal do anything. Thanks

Hi... Thank you for this but I'm curious how do I get them to install. I would be happy if I could just get one window's border that looks like windows 10. That link you post with package / file what am I supposed to do with any of them?
For instance this

File Packages
/usr/share/muffin/theme/metacity-theme-3.xml muffin-common

What does one do with it? Thanks

[LanceM]

I think you might have looked at the wrong link. The instructions are pretty lucid proving you know how to open your command terminal and use it.

If you need more help post back.

[Sonofman]

I don't know maybe you're right. This is what I did in Terminal, is there more and how so, thanks

[LanceM]

Now go to System Settings and click themes. Click Windows Borders and click Esco or any others you want to try.

[Sonofman]

Maybe you misunderstood me I did and I said there like 15 different ones I can select but I'm asking if I can add more to the list, those 15 that are there I don't like any of them. Maybe I can make it simpler is there any that has the same look as windows? I would be happy even with that, thanks

There may be, but I don't know. Isn't Esco much better than default?

[Sonofman]

These are the ones I can choose from pic, if you see all of them seem so close together or small. If you look at the windows pic it nice size and a good distance apart from each other. Something like that would be nice if possible, thanks

Anything is better than default, why that is default I don't get it

[LanceM]

I just tried something I think might work for you/ Go here:
https://www.cinnamon-look.org/p/1319251/
If you like them, download it to your downloads or desktop then right click and extract. Open the folder and copy the folders in there. Now open your Home and enable hidden by Ctrl + H. look for .themes folder. Open it and paste the ones you copies into it. Now go to Settings and Themes and pick the one you like.
To hide hidden files in your Home just press Ctrl + H again.
There are not a lot available.

Mint Xfce has a large window border included. I like Xfce pretty well. Has some really good features.

[Sonofman]

I try one of those color ones from your link it would be perfect if they were spread it out more, they are so close together.

What size screen do you have? Are you using a touchpad and having trouble getting the pointer on them? Only thing I know is to increase that font size.
