I have installed the 'Minty-X' and 'Mint-Y' themes, globally on my Debian-cinnamon vm. (to /usr/share/themes)
It does not fully recognize those themes. In System Settings >> Themes it finds the desktop and the controls but not the window frames. Moreover it does not apply well neither of them, having missing controls and mismatched colours.
Also I have installed globally the 'Mint-X' and 'Mint-Y' icons but it doesn't find them. I have to install them locally.
Does anyone know what causes these problems ?
I am running Cinnamon 4.8.6, Debian 11.1.0 BTW

Re: Cinnamon does not recognize the full theme
I think a theme that's made with Cinnamon in mind should have a directory called cinnamon in the top level theme directory. For instance:
Code: Select all
l /usr/share/themes/Adapta/cinnamon
total 56K
4.0K drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4.0K Nov 25 14:42 assets/
52K -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 52K Jul 7 2020 cinnamon.css
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Jul 7 2020 thumbnail.png -> assets/thumbnail.png

Re: Cinnamon does not recognize the full theme
I found that most of the errors came from permission settings of the theme folders. And by changing permission the themes were fully recognized. The same with the icons.
The source of the problems came from errors in the compilation of the themes. That is also what created the color mismatch problem.
I fixed it by installing:
and then installing the generated .deb packages that were generated.

Re: Cinnamon does not recognize the full theme
I am not sure if this helps you, but these are all the latest packages, eg. mint-x-icons, mint-y-icons, et. all. The new purple and pink icons are here that Clem has not released yet.

Also, this is a good link to have when adding particular source/packages to Debian
http://packages.linuxmint.com/dists/

Re: Cinnamon does not recognize the full theme
Ehm... Before changing permissions in a system theme folder, which might be dangerous depending on what you're doing, why not just copy them into
that way you can tinker with permissions and it all stays in your home directory.
Code: Select all
$HOME/.themes
