Introducing Cinnamon Desktop "Styles", coming in Linux Mint 21.2
In their monthly update post, the Linux Mint team gave a sneak peek of what's in store for the upcoming release, Linux Mint 21.2. One of the exciting new features that caught the eye was the introduction of "styles" in the Cinnamon desktop.
The next iteration of Cinnamon will present a novel concept known as "styles". Styles come in three modes: mixed, dark, and light, and each of these modes can have colour "variants". A variant is a combination of themes that blend together. The goal of styles, modes, and variants is to make it easier to switch to a beautiful-looking interface and quickly browse through available options. You won't have to find matching elements because styles will do that for you, no matter how many individual themes you have installed.
