Linux Mint 21.2 Simplifies Theming with ‘Cinnamon Styles’
Announcing this visual buff in its latest monthly update, Mint says the feature will simplify the Cinnamon desktop’s extensive customisation capabilities whilst still satisfying those looking to fine-tune the way their desktop looks and feels.
“A style has up to three modes: mixed, dark and light. Each of these modes can contain color “variants”. A variant is a combination of themes which work well together,” Mint says of its new feature.
Effectively, Linux MInt’s new “Styles” are “one-click” combinations of UI elements that work well together. Instead of users needing to individually select matching components (e.g., gtk theme, icon theme, shell theme, etc) in different pickers they simply select the overarching style instead.
