Linux Mint: Monthly News – March 2023
Many thanks to you all for your support and your donations!
Today we’re revealing some of the visual changes we’ve been working on in preparation for the next release.
This was well received and it provided a lot of options for users to choose from.
That said, a few issues caught our attention.
The huge variety of themes and color variants created clutter and made it harder for users to locate a particular theme.
Some icon themes work well with some control themes but not with others. The welcome screen provides a way to quickly switch from light to dark and from one color to another but it has its own limitation: It only works with the Mint-Y theme and only in our distribution.
With this in mind we decided to design a solution which could work for any theme and any distribution and which would make it much easier to browse and pick without having to go through long lists of installed themes and without worrying about compatibility.
