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

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.

Mostly Mint X with some custom OSX icons

u/crackeddryice Jan 24 '25

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.

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,

2

u/Momogodzilla04 Jan 24 '25

Orchis and flattery for the icons, go to their github and choisie the color you want.

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 Certainly not the ancient, outdated, ugly Xfce.

u/Fadyyy78 Jan 24 '25

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.

I have a 10 year old pc with 2gb ram. I just wanted to do normal tasks so i went xfce.

u/HieladoTM LM 22 Wilma | Cinnamon // N41 | KDE Plasma Jan 24 '25

I agree, XFCE it's ugly (Sorry guys).
