@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).

You can check how Styles works in Linux Mint April news

@gagarski: unfortunately that is because of the GTK3 version that supports this theme, Mint-X theme is supported for GTK 3.18 and lower (or GTK2), and Arch has 3.22 for quite a while, so the only way to "fix" this is to rewrite the complete theme for 3.22, something that upstream might do until either they release LMDE3 or Mint 19

Hi! When I set Controls theme to one of Mint-X-* themes, the window controls are broken: https://i.imgur.com/Xka328C.png . Any ideas how to fix that?

@tralce: I updated the version; took me a while because of my exams but now that I'm done I did my part, please (if possible) remove your comment

@HisDudeness: unfortunately I can't access that site either, it seems that the author removed permissions to that site, and looking to other themes related (Mint-X) I can't decide which one to use instead and many of them aren't updated at all (the most "recent" one was updated 3 years ago), so I guess I'll be removing that particular theme in another update. I'm so sorry for Openbox but there is not much I can do on that part

makepkg can't download http://box-look.org/CONTENT/content-files/152051-newmint.7z. If I open the link in my browser, box-look.org tells me "You have no authorisation for this page".

Greetings, I'll be adopting the package to check new versions, because of my work and studies I can't promise to keep it updated as soon as possible, but when possible I may work on the PKGBUILD and check if something is needed or not

SunRed commented on 2016-05-19 19:35 (UTC)

I disown this package because I don't use it anymore.
