How improve interface of Application Manager?
Whenever I look for a particular program in the application manager, a window opens where I can click on Install or Remove. Unfortunately, the description is ALWAYS unreadable unless I have extended the window to the bottom. There is far too much space for a program image above it. I have found this unusually poor display for LM standard since the upgrade to 21.3. Before that everything was fine. How can I improve this? Here is a screenshot:

It may have to do with how it interacts with your hardware, paste the complete text output of run in the terminal. Wrap it in <code> tags.

No, it's just the default window size.

You don't need to extend the window. You can scroll down. The bad trend of scrollbar auto-hiding is another matter. But one can always disable that in Cinnamon.

Though even with scrollbar autohide disabled, the default scroll bars are too thin and not well-contrasted, in my opinion.billyswong wrote: ⤴Tue Mar 19, 2024 6:31 am You don't need to extend the window.

Re: How improve interface of Application Manager?
Yes there is a way to change the layout a bit (do this at your own risk, the universe may collapse or even your pc).
1. Edit mintinstall.py
Search for the number 351 and change it to 251. (you should find it twice)
Save the file.
2. Edit mintinstall.glade
Search for the number 351 and change it to 251.
Save the file.
Restart the application manager.
The illustration of the package should now take a bit less room, making the description more visible.
1. Edit mintinstall.py
Code: Select all
xed admin:///usr/lib/linuxmint/mintinstall/mintinstall.py
Save the file.
2. Edit mintinstall.glade
Code: Select all
xed admin:///usr/share/linuxmint/mintinstall/mintinstall.glade
Save the file.
Restart the application manager.
