@rellieberman: Greetings, this is due to the new "Styles" option that Cinnamon itself has implemented, but to make it possible you have one out of 2 options:

• You create a customized style
• You reuse one of the available ones

In both cases you must have a matching/defined GTK theme, a Cinnamon theme and a cursor theme, if you don't fulfill the three conditions, then the "simplified way" won't appear at all.

Thus, the reason of why this package was created and you can use it to bring at least the Cinnamon mint themes, regarding other combinations, keep in mind that it either depends on upstream available options or I could go on myself and create one and make it available (which I cannot promise due to time issues IRL, also I had a hard time understanding the syntax required).

Greetings @mohachi, please delete the comment that you have posted, that happens because there is a new version available which I haven't posted or checked. In those cases please just leave the option "Flag package out-of-date", I will receive an email and then add it to my pending tasks.

Just keep in mind that I might not be able to update it immediately, but once I receive the notification, I will do it at my earliest convenience

@duckmercury: please, in case that the package is not available, just leave an out-of-date notice and I will update it at my earliest possibility, even if I receive the notice sometimes I may not be available, so please, just be patient on that and don't add notification comments. Thanks for undestanding

sources is 404. Please update.

@Santi-Burgos: I was referring to the url array, not the source array:

url="https://github.com/linuxmint/mint-themes"

@yochananmarqos: Regarding the dependency: I issued an update to fix that (seems that the package wasn't available until recently)

Regarding the download repo, I can't change it, since Github doesn't host package versions (except for master versions, which are unstable) and I had to change some others from the Github URL due to this reason (if I switch the URL variable from package(dot)linuxmint to github, it gives error in the download process)

@Santi-Burgos: This no longer builds with sassc, upstream moved to using pysassc provided by python-libsass. See this commit.

Also, please stop using the download repo for the upstream URL. Almost all projects have a GitHub repo. In this case, it's https://github.com/linuxmint/mint-themes.

Thank! I'll check out cinnamon-styles-artwork Cheers
