is there any Mac OS X Leopard or Windows Vista themes still?

[DapperEevee2006]

Any i find are for old versions of cinnamon... I guess I am just too wanting of much too old looks that others just don't want anymore?

You could try using your preferred search engine to look for "how to make Linux cinnamon look like Mac OS X Leopard" or "how to make Linux cinnamon look like Windows vista." If you get results, it might be step-by-step instructions for picking themes, icons, and colors. Haven't tried it myself, but that would be my first path.

The reason things like that disappear for newer releases rarely has anything to do with demand. It's because the people maintaining them abandon them.

Elbullazul's Boomerang themes work great for me and I'm always on the latest Mint Cinn. Admittedly, most of the recent work he's done on them is geared toward gtk4, and the Cinn themes are a little old, but they're fine AFAIC. Just follow whatever theme to the github page, click the green (code) button and download the zip.

Hey, just wanted to add for anyone that may care, some Boomerang themes have a built in start button on the panel, and if you wanted to just use your own stock/custom as I do you just edit out a little code in the Cinnamon.css. e.g...

Windows Vista:

Code: Select all

#panelLeft .applet-box:first-child {
  background: url("orbs/OBB1.png");
  transition-duration: 300; width: 50px;
  color: rgba(255,0,0,0) !important;
}
#panelLeft .applet-box:first-child:hover {
  transition-duration: 200; background: url("orbs/OBB2.png");
}
#panelLeft .applet-box:first-child:active {
  background: url("orbs/OBB3.png");
}

Windows 7:

Code: Select all

#panelLeft .applet-box:first-child {
  background: url("orbs/OBB1.png");
  border-image: none;
  background-position: center center;
  transition-duration: 300;
  width: 40px;
  color: rgba(255,0,0,0) !important;
}
#panelLeft .applet-box:first-child:hover {
  transition-duration: 200; background: url("orbs/OBB2.png");
  border-image: none;
}
#panelLeft .applet-box:first-child:active {
  background: url("orbs/OBB3.png");
  border-image: none;
}
