How to make cinnamon look more modern?

[Infamous 711]

I have been using Linux mint cinnamon for a while and I must say, it's great. The only problem is I think it needs to look more modern like kde. So can anyone suggest any themes that make Linux mint look more modern like kde?
(I don't want to switch to a kde distro just for looks, prefer to use Linux mint with some modern themes)

Also can anyone suggest me a store or website to get themes for cinnamon.

why?

I make the screen on every PC look the same?

Totally Flat Black, with Icons pasted if needed on the desktop.

would that not be the same all versions of any OS?

I detest a bunch of crap on my screen, and immediately delete all of it.

I don't know what KDE looks like... surely that, too, looks like what you want it to look like?
If you consider a flat, material design to look modern, then look into installing the Adapta themes and the Paper icons.

why?

I'm assuming because that is their preference. I'm not seeing how your personal preference answers the question.

Thanks, I will surely try them out.

If you really want something similar to KDE then use Windows 10 Light Theme since W10 is basically a rip-off of Plasma 5 anyway. Read the requirements here before installing the Theme though and make sure the dependencies are installed on your system too.

Hi GNULinux,
To answer your PM - below is how I configured my desktop (a VM) after checking out the video.

THX for the 411 on where you got the theme. I am not a big Mac fan but appreciate the look.
I followed the video and then like you modified it a somewhat. I really prefer a clean desktop and lately have been leaning towards the transparent/semi-transparent panels.

Windows boarders: Mac-OS-X-Cheetah-1.0
Icons: Mac-OS-X-Cheetah-master plus a few others from various sources
Controls: Mac-OS-X-Cheetah-1.0
Mouse Pointer: ComixCursors-Sky-Blue-Large
Desktop: WhiteSur-light





Here is one I am playing with - I have a friend who is into the dark themes - not really my cup of tea. There are still a few icons I can't seem to get converted to dark. System info for example - I have changed everywhere I can think of but it still comes up with that green icon in the menu. I just have to figure out where the menu gets that particular icon.
