How to manually configure Cinnamon?

Post by AndrzejB »

Gui configurators are not enough for me: I can't change color of window frame.
I try edit json files from ~/cinnamon folder.
I have Linux Mint with Cinnamon and on VirtualBox have Manjaro Cinnamon.
I copied ~/cinnamon folder (configs subfolder) from Mint to Manjaro , but was odd thing: If I click menu (left,bottom corner) instead of menu, appears two workspaces to choice.
I don't know why/

I haven't used CInnamon for a while but moving its .config files from one distro to another isn't a good idea, esp. from a Ubuntu to an Arch based one. I'll do that for app software but never ever for a desktop environment.
