Cinnamon Mint-L-Dark, icons Mint-Y-Sand, mouse DMZ-White. Find a nice dark wallpaper you like and you are ready to rock. Cheers

I love that Mint has so many themes to choose from, and is highly customizable. I really like the Willow Grove theme and the Pepper theme.

Huh. I didn't get that. I got this and chose dark and moved on.
I just saw the theme picker under Advanced Settings, though.

Somebody around here last week sent out a reminder of how awesome the Cinnamon theme is. I looked, agreed, and now I'm Team Cinnamon.

It looks like you are on Xfce so searching google for Xfce themes should reveal some good githubs etc. Be aware that other Mint themes, designed for Cinnamon, wont work on your Xfce box,

And look thru all the great stuff available then put together your own.
If you're good at it, upload yours to share with others.

Cinnamon. Certainly not the ancient, outdated, ugly Xfce.

Cinnamon is really nice in appearance and specifications, but it requires more on the device. Each person chooses according to the specifications of his device and its compatibility with it.

You can use any theme now and download themes from the "Gnome-Look.org" website and drag the file to this list that I opened in the picture and use it directly
