Re: Another DE option for Mint 12 - Cinnamon
Regarding the "Themes" button. It seems as though it could do something more all encompassing such as "System Configuration" or simply "Configuration".
Re: Another DE option for Mint 12 - Cinnamon
Via gsettings right now but the easiest way is to install 'dconf-tools' if you haven't already (search for it in Synaptic). The package includes the Dconf Editor which you can use to adjust Cinnamon settings among other things. Once installed start the Dconf Editor from the menu then, in the editor, look for 'Org' in the left sidebar, expand it via the arrow beside 'Org' and then click on Cinnamon. In the right hand panel you'll see a check box for auto-hiding the panel, just check it and the Panel should now auto-hide.Joe_Linux wrote:Where do you set the panel to auto hide?z06gal wrote:Just updated Cinnamon and love the panel auto hide and the ability to right click in the menu to put icons wherever we want them. This is going to be a really nice de by Mint 13. Great work Clem!!

Re: Another DE option for Mint 12 - Cinnamon
Impressed by the improvements in the new Cinnamon 1.1.3. - this coming from the chairman of the shouldhavestuckwithgnomeshell board
The right click and add to panel from the menu works smoooooth and the possibility to (easily) remove the weirdly out of place and meaningless always-on-top-of-your-windows infinity icon takes care of business.

For now, theme works well, but Clem and the rest of the team are planning some changes to the compatibility with the GS themes and introduce new widgets and styles.
Unpack and copy the theme to /usr/share/themes/ because it appears in /.themes/ place themes are not properly detected(bug?).

Thanks for sharing
Re: Another DE option for Mint 12 - Cinnamon
Daniel's theme greatly improves Cinnamon visually. Cinnamon's look is probably - and understandably - not a priority at this point in the development, but the default block of grey certainly isn't attractive. MGSE never really shone in the looks department either.
Re: Another DE option for Mint 12 - Cinnamon
Cinnamon is looking better and better. Nice to be able to easily add apps to the panel and desktop. I'm hoping we will soon see a choice of panel applets for Cinnamon, like a weather applet and cpu temp applet.
All in all it's looking very good.

When compiling it still says that the compile schemas can't be found, while it s listed under /usr/bin/ as glib-compile-schemas ...

Re: Another DE option for Mint 12 - Cinnamon
I just updated to cinnamon 1.1.3 and the favourites menu is working normally now.viking777 wrote:Out of interest have you ever got more than 4 favourites to show up at any one time, because I can't. I can add as many as I like in dconf-editor but only the first 4 ever show up, as the Favourites panel never resizes beyond 4 items. Don't know why. It is a virtual machine I am running it on not a full install maybe that makes a difference? But it shouldn't.I've used this section of the dconf-editor (as shown in the image in the referenced tutorial) to tailor both my Favorites section of the menu and my Panel to my liking and it works well. I'm sure Clem intends to make this a lot easier as time goes on but for now it's the only way.

Thanks. I uploaded Eleganse and dark glass theme for Cinnamon 1.1.3.m4daredsun wrote:Grrrrrrreat theme!Daniel4lm wrote:

Re: Another DE option for Mint 12 - Cinnamon
is strictly necessary maintain the exposé-like windows select and the user-theme extension (the one opened by the botton in the top left corner) or they will be removed?
Re: Another DE option for Mint 12 - Cinnamon
I guess you are saying about hotcorner (top left corner button). Technically speaking it can be hided or removed now in Cinnamon 1.1.3 can hide (dconf editor or gsettings ).davedarkblade wrote:is strictly necessary maintain the exposé-like windows select and the user-theme extension (the one opened by the botton in the top left corner) or they will be removed?
Code: Select all
gsettings set org.cinnamon overview-corner-visible false gsettings set org.cinnamon overview-corner-hover false
Re: Another DE option for Mint 12 - Cinnamon
I'm speaking about the "old-style" menu, the one that opens when I click the hotcorner.

There is a community initiative to port Cinnamon to Fedora:
Cinnamon guide for F16 (replacement for gnomes-hell)

I have the eleganse theme installed and want to make the panel solid black but can't seem to get it that way. I have changed the transparency but it doesn't change it so, does anyone know how I can achieve a totally black panel? Thanks in advance

Note: These extensions cannot be used in new Cinnamon DE (yet). Only in the default 'Gnome' (gnome-shell/MGSE) DE.lurkatron wrote:how do u get the extensions mentioned on the fedora site in mint?

Via the new Gnome Shell Extensions website:
https://extensions.gnome.org/
It's simply a matter of clicking on the extension you want and flicking a switch--literally.
Keep in mind that the list you referenced shows the actual filename of the extension and not the real life name. For example 'apps-menu' is listed as 'Applications Menu' at the above site. The only one I couldn't find is the equivalent of the 'drive-menu'. It's there but it's real name is obviously quite different than it's filename. Also, make sure you check the "Installed extensions" list on that site (link is at the top of the Gnome Shell Extensions page) as MGSE already includes some of the extensions available already.
