Cinnamon window header bars - styling

[SomeDudeInAZ]

Using Mint 21 (Vanessa) with Cinnamon 5.4.12


So after reading the following post: Any theme with prominent active window titlebar? (viewtopic.php?t=377710) I decided to get creative.

This works great with the Mint-Y-Dark-Sand theme (shades from "sand" on the left to black on the right.)

Code: Select all

headerbar {
    min-height: 24px;
    padding: 0 6px;
    /* color: #cccccc ; */
    color: black;
    background-image: linear-gradient(to right, #B89F65 75%, black)
}

headerbar:backdrop {
    color: #aaaaaa;
    background-image: linear-gradient(to right, shade(grey,1), shade(grey, 0.5));
}

What I'd like to do now is move the window title ltself. I'd rather have it left aligned. We can swap the controls from left to right, so why not the text. The GTK docs imply that this can be done (center is the "default"). Any ideas? Short of re-compiling *something*...

Heck, in an ideal world I could re-configure it so it would show the program first, then the "document". But that I imagine would require compiling...or at least hacking a python script somewhere
